Biography
Hailing from Melbourne, Body Maintenance sounds like a band you would hear in a club in 1980s Manchester rather than at Melbourne’s The Curtin Hotel in 2023. While taking inspiration from the likes of Sisters of Mercy, The Sound and Echo and the Bunnymen, their sound is unique and unlike any other bands in the realm. In April released their debut album Beside You, the follow-up to their 2021 self-titled EP.
Listening to Beside You, you are taken on a journey beginning at the hard, fast and uplifting ‘Silver Yarns’ that makes you feel as if you can take on the world. Four songs in you are met with ‘Time Enough’ which brings you back to the sad reality of the world that we really live in. Isolating yet inspiring, aggressive yet intricate, their music is the perfect soundtrack to accompany a walk home or even a late-night drive.
The band consists of Riley Stafford on Vocals and Guitar, James Kane who is also on guitar, Nick Garth who plays the synth and bass and Zoe Mulcahy on the drums.
