The name Melody Black may not be familiar to the majority of you, which incidentally is why we are featuring Melody Black as one of our “best things you’ve never heard”, however those who have kept even just a casual interest in the hard rock scene in Australia over the last 20 odd years will certainly be familiar with bands such as Candy Harlots, Ink, Jerk and Killing Time. The relevance of those bands you ask, well their former members make up the Sydney based hard rock band, Melody Black. If ever there was a band name that was a fitting description of their music, it’s Melody Black, a raw concoction of hard rock, 70’s glam rock, melody a healthy dose of punk and sheen of darkness. In October, their debut album Love Your Demons hit the street and the video for lead track Pretty Ugly has been doing the rounds on MTV here in Australia.
