The Mean Times Are Back

Melbourne’s garage rock gentlemen The Mean Times return with their first single in bloody ages,  with ‘Already Done‘ to be released on 18th April 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 humour, calling out know-it-all boomers, corporate bull, the people who oppose it and the sheer absurdity of it all – because, apparently “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.
