Moderate Lovers

Moderate Lovers are an indie pop/rock trio hailing from Sydney, Australia, known for their catchy, melodic tunes that blend jangle and distortion with a skewed, somewhat off-kilter edge. The band features Mick Wilson on guitar and vocals, Adam Taylor on bass, and Saul Foster on drums. They evoke a certain nostalgic feel tied to Sydney's music scene, notably reflecting on iconic venues of the '80s and '90s, as seen in their recent single and video for "Lost City." Their sound is described as a mix of power pop fuzz with serious lyrical themes, capturing both energy and thoughtful reflection.

In 2025, Moderate Lovers have put out key releases including their EP *Crayon Shades*, which features tracks like "Lucy's Gardening Again" and "Lost City," showcasing their ability to combine infectious melodies with compelling storytelling. The band is actively performing live, with launch events around Newtown and Marrickville, continuing to build a reputation as a fresh voice within the Australian indie scene.
