MELROSE AVENUE release new single

‘Taste’ via Hopeless Records

UK / EU headline tour announced today for June 2026 including Download, Rock For People and

Jera On Air Festival appearances

Sydney alt-rockers Melrose Avenue return with their new track, ‘Taste’, out now via Hopeless Records. The track is a bold step into darker, more provocative territory for Melrose Avenue and showcases the band at their most fearless.

Speaking on the new single vocalist, Vlado Saric shares, “Taste marks the next phase of Melrose Avenue stepping out of the light and letting our darker inhibitions take over – it’s about freedom, the right to be sexual, to be desired, and to desire. We felt our fanbase was ready for this side of us, and we wanted to give them exactly that”
