Mac The Knife

Mac The Knife is a dynamic rock band hailing from Sydney's inner-west. Formed in a sweaty garage, the group consists of Bryn Chapman-Parish on vocals, Ari 'Campo-Kickons' Tuaine on guitar, Jonny Sandstrom, Curtis Van Haasteren on guitar, and James Cripps on bass. They are known for their energetic live performances and a sound that blends elements of '70s surf, American coastal, and proto-punk, drawing comparisons to bands like The Orwells, Black Lips, and Thee Oh Sees. Their music career has evolved from humble beginnings in high school with a psych-reggae band called Weekend Offenders, eventually leading to the formation of Mac The Knife.

The band has released several tracks, including "Silvertongue," which marked their debut EP. Their recent releases reflect a personal and expressive approach to songwriting, with influences from bands like The Strokes and Fontaines D.C. Mac The Knife is recognized for their passionate live shows and has been touted as a hidden gem in the Australian music scene. They continue to build a strong following with their unique blend of garage rock and energetic performances.
