New single, 'Already Done' out now!

Melbourne's The Mean Times released their raging new single 'Already Done' on 18 April, via Golden Robot Records.

Melbourne’s garage rock gentlemen The Mean Times return with their first single in bloody ages, 'Already Done', releasing April 18 via Golden Robot Records. This track is a fast, fiery anthem for the overworked, overstimulated, and over-it. Packed with razor-sharp wit and relentless energy, the track is a full-throttle takedown of burnout culture, political hypocrisy, and the never-ending noise of modern life.

With punchy guitars, a pounding rhythm section, and a whole bunch of stuff that demands to be shouted, 'Already Done' is equal parts defiance and catharsis. The track swings from frustration to dark humor, calling out know-it-all boomers, corporate bullshit, the people who oppose it and the sheer absurdity of it all - because when the world’s on fire, set alight by dickheads, there's nothing you can you do about it but scream and raise a drink, a fist and an eyebrow.

Produced by Anna Laverty, 'Already Done' sets the stage for The Mean Times’ debut album, "Feel More Dumb", dropping September 2025. If you’ve ever felt completely spent and surrounded by morons - this one’s for you.

“The Mean Times create infectious, high-energy rock and roll with a let-loose-and-party attitude. Their sound is a pastiche of indie cool with sharp, scuzzy riffs and catchy pop choruses, all delivered with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and a hell of a lot of swagger.”
AMNplify

“Pairing swagger with style in equal measure—with a dash of raucous energy—The Mean Times make music that’s good for the soul and that’s always up for a party.”

Melbourne rockdogs The Mean Times have hit beast mode. Having recently signed to international independent record label, Golden Robot Records, the band are set to release their debut album in September 2025. Recorded with renowned Australian producer, Anna Laverty (Peep Tempel, Camp Cope, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), the first single, 'Already Done' is set to kick the world in the teeth on 18 April 2025.

The Mean Times produce mature, cutting rock n’roll with a humorous self-take on life. The music has a depth of purpose and is unlike most rock music in a saturated market. They have taken the best bits of 70s and 80s punk rock; 90s post-grunge power-pop; some early naughties post punk revival; and then thrown in a touch of old school rock and roll, to create their own brand of Oz punk rock. Their live energy and insight are both modern and unique and tell a story that others can find solace in and learn from. Thematically, The Mean Times delve into men's mental health, while musing on approaching mid-life and having to adult. It’s teenage angst for people in their 30s and 40s.

Having played almost every venue in Melbourne, and many more beyond, The Mean Times (Eoin Clements on guitar and vocals, Rob Meerbach on bass and vocals, Ryan Williams on drums and vocals and Tom Morgan on vocals and guitar) deliver a raucous, high-energy, spirited live show that makes you smile. They're raw yet polished; weird, yet digestible; punk yet pop. The music and the men are real and concise. They write good songs for music lovers, not slow jams for pool party posers.

“Our new favorite band is here with new music and it comes as no surprise that it’s straight heat. We love the creative force behind The Mean Times’ sound and their vision has always been on point. We have a feeling this is just a small taste of what’s to come.”
