The Maggie Pills Return With Haunting New Punk Haunter, ‘Velobell’
Naarm/Melbourne’s punk experimentalists known as The Maggie Pills are back with a dark and vibey single. Titled ‘Velobell,’ this enigmatic sextet’s latest track is a wild ride brought to life by their own Mario Perez on production, co-mixed by the talented Brad Jackson, and mastered by Grammy-winning maestro Emerson Mancini. Picture grungy guitars, galloping basslines, dreamy vocals, and a whole load of tense atmospherics – ‘Velobell’ is a spooky, jarring delight with some unexpected uplift buried within its depths.
In their own words, the band shares, “The song is a message of resilience. It’s about those moments when we feel lost, burdened by life’s weight, yet something inside us refuses to give up. Whether battling grief, burnout, addiction, or the quiet emptiness of everyday existence, ‘Velobell’ is a raw cry that whispers, ‘You’re in there somewhere, and you’re not alone.'”
Having graced stages alongside heavy-hitters such as Black Lips (USA), Shihad, Cable Ties, The Mark Of Cain, Private Function, and more, The Maggie Pills are gearing up to celebrate the release of ‘Velobell’ with a bang. They’ll be throwing a launch party in their home city of Naarm/Melbourne at the John Curtin Hotel on Friday, 13th June.
