The Australian pop-metalcore band Melrose Avenue burst onto the scene with their EP Taste, instantly catching the attention of fans and those into melodic yet powerful vibe. The lineup features frontman Vlado Saric, guitarists Mitchell Black and Shawn Mayer – with Mayer also handling supporting vocals – and drummer Jed McIntosh. Their sound blends Saric’s melodic vocals with sudden, visceral screams, driven by punchy, riff-heavy instrumentals with a strong focus on guitar riffs. After introducing themselves to European audiences last year, the band are set to return in 2026. Alongside their US and Australian touring plans, Melrose Avenue will once again make their way back to Europe, bringing their explosive energy to fans here. We checked in with the band to hear their take on the fast-moving years behind them and how it’s been along the way.
