The Murlocs are an Australian rock band that has carved out its own distinct niche in the music scene with their blend of garage and psychedelic rock. Formed in 2010 in Melbourne, the group features a lineup of multi-talented musicians, including Ambrose Kenny-Smith (vocals/harmonica), Matt Blach (drums), Cook Craig (bass guitar), Tim Karmouche (keyboard), and Cal Shortal (guitar). They are often recognized for their affiliation with the highly acclaimed psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, as two of The Murlocs’ members, Kenny-Smith and Craig, pull double duty in both bands.

With a discography rich in raw energy and emotive storytelling, The Murlocs have steadily built a dedicated following. Their early works, such as "Loopholes" and "Young Blindness," set the foundation with their distinctive harmonica-laden tunes and gritty vocals, while later albums like "Old Locomotive," "Manic Candid Episode," and "Bittersweet Demons" showcase the band's growth in crafting more complex, reflective, and refined music. Their most recent releases, such as "Calm Ya Farm" and "Queen Pinky," continue to reflect the band's commitment to evolving their sound while maintaining the authentic and soulful spirit that has come to define The Murlocs' unique place in the rock genre.
