Melvic Centre (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091329802054) are from Newcastle, Australia.
I spent my Sunday morning doing some gardening. I don't like gardening but it was made more palatable this time around as I was listening to the band's new album Trawler. It's their second full length following their 2023 self titled debut.
It's an album that gave me flashbacks to Teenage Fanclub (possibly around the time of their classic Grand Prix lp). Silky smooth punk influenced rock melodies with the occasional heavier track such as Snake Oil added to the mix.
It's available on vinyl via Evil Tone Records
Digitally you can find it here : https://melviccentre.bandcamp.com/album/trawler
There's a glut of great songs to pick from but I'll go with one they've a video for. This is First To Know...
time to throw stones
i hate you
but you already know
something i still keep close
i keep asking myself
will i hold on forever?
when the time comes
to mend this heart for the better
you’ll be the first to know
burning through notes
what would i say to you?
try to speak and just choke?
seeing you around would make me sick
i can’t live like this forever
i’m checking number plates
of oncoming traffic
i hope i don’t run into you
something to let go
i don’t wanna hate you
try and let it outgrow
these roundabouts on sleepless nights
i plead to myself
don’t hold on forever
