As usual, there is no shortage of amazing new music coming out of Australia. It seems like there’s a new discovery every week that solidifies their importance in the music game these days. Recently, we’ve had the pleasure of discovering emerging Alt-Rock 4-piece Monks of Mellonwah, out of Sydney, and we’re super excited to share their sounds with you!

Streaming below is their stellar single “Even When It Burns,” which brings the heat with a steady beat and loud, passionate vocals. The main guitar riffs during the chorus are both powerful, though not overwhelming and down’t drown out the rest of the mix. The additional synths and electronic elements bring a dancey feel to it, without taking away from the rawness and humility of the song. The band has recently finished recording a brand new 7 track EP called Disconnect which is set for full release in August.

Here at GroundSounds, we pride ourselves on creating buzz around the musical trends that don’t even exist yet and in this case, we’re sure to put our stamp of approval on Monks of Mellonwah, you should think about doing it, too. Seriously, though, do it. Do it.
