Melrose Avenue Drop New Single “Bad Guy”

Hotly-tipped, Sydney melodic metallers, Melrose Avenue, have today returned with their explosive new single, “Bad Guy.”

Marking a bold step forward in their sound, the track is widely tipped to be the band’s heaviest release to date. Pushing their musical boundaries, “Bad Guy” sees Melrose Avenue enter a darker, more intense territory, set to resonate strongly with their rapidly expanding international fanbase.

Speaking on the new single vocalist, Vlado Saric shares:

“There’s been this shadow that’s been hanging over me for years, and ‘Bad Guy’ was finally my way of confronting it. It comes from that raw place of betrayal – when someone you trust turns on you and paints you as the villain just to lift themselves up. This song is me owning that narrative and calling it out for what it really is.”

After a hugely successful, sold-out debut UK and Europe tour in November 2025, Melrose Avenue have announced their return to the road here with a new run of shows across the UK and Europe this summer.

The tour will see the band make highly anticipated festival appearances at Download Festival, Rock For People, Nova Rock, and Jera On Air, alongside a series of headline dates in cities like Brighton, Milan, Hannover, and more.
