MECHA MECHA Release Volatile New Single ‘My Hero The Homewrecker’

Not a new face to the Australian music industry, Meanjin/Brisbane-based rockers Mecha Mecha have a new single My Hero The Homewrecker to add to their already extensive catalogue. A melting pot of influence, the dark-indie three-piece lean into their experimental sound. The explosive and very personal track, My Hero The Homewrecker is out NOW.

Capturing the perfected essence of Mecha Mecha, My Hero The Homewrecker is an aggressively passionate concoction of instrumentation. Opening sweetly with violin before meaty bass lines and thrashing drums draw the heavy rock and metal tones through the track. Adopting Royal Blood’s famous technique of using the bass guitar as a lead instrument, the texture matches perfectly with the violin creating the unique sound which is Mecha Mecha.

Written about reflecting on a relationship that broke down and flourished into friendship, the vocals of Walter Webb hold the weight of the lyrics akin to Radiohead. Flouncing throughout the track, his vocals sit as the sweetness within the raw grit of the instrumental.

Influenced by the greats of the 90s and early 2000s, Mecha Mecha has an unusual line-up that works in their favour. Consisting of electric violin (Isaac Vincent), bass (Walter Webb) and drums (Angelo Webb), their music blurs the lines of dark indie rock and neo-classical metal, with tinges of psytrance and EDM.
