With an ever-growing community showing up for consistently packed-out shows in their debut year, MFC are only gaining steam. The band has supported the notoriously chaos-rendering band PRIVATE FUNCTION twice and recorded their debut single with 2x ARIA award winning producer Cody McWaters (King Stingray, The Chats).
A brutal tenderness weaves through their boisterous and thought-provoking tunes, drawing from an ever-expanding pool of influences including Fontaines DC, DIIV, SPRINTS and The Prodigy.
Not all anger is destructive, and MFC’s ability to thrash around inside this liminal space provides a safe environment to experience the abundant and fractured minefield of human emotion - from torment, apathy, and grief, to presence, joy, and excitement. With their push to celebrate the importance of guttural expression through their use of gritty instrumentals and veracious lyricism, MFC are carving out a space for themselves inside Meanjin’s unique counterculture.
Their debut single Sunny Times In The Sunshine State is an uplifting commiseration – the musical equivalent of hi-fiving a mate after discussing your terrible mental health. MFC flips feelings of hopelessness straight on its head, bringing you the surprisingly uplifting anthem you didn’t know you needed - dripping in swagger, solidarity and some classic Queensland grit
