Since late 2004, tangled indie guitar trio THE MARES have been consolidating their sound; a mixture of punk, blues, folk and dance influences. It all culminates in the kind of indie pop that translates quickly to the dance floor. But to give you a better idea of it all, let’s take a trip back in time… Singer, songwriter, guitarist and founding member Jamie Hanson was splitting his time between the gutters of Hobart, Melbourne and Berlin, and spending more time drinking than on completing his philosophy degree. At some point during the ensuing haze, it seemed like a good idea to get a band together. Enter Sydney. Enter the Nicks. Hanson met bass player Nick Milner in a trashy club somewhere in Sydney, and the two hit it off immediately. They started writing together, enlisting drummer Nick Cooper to round out the group. Right away the trio started making noise at every pretentious inner city warehouse party they could find. Having attracted the attention of Boundary Sounds, The Mares worked up a demo they called ‘Charleston’. Tracks from this received heavy play on community radio and Triple J, following which the band blazed a trail through the Sydney and Melbourne indie scenes, playing with chart-destroying Aussie’s The Grates and Eskimo Joe, New York art rockers Liars, with The Presets, Louis XIV, Midnight Juggernauts, Red Riders, Expatriate and Sweden’s Shout Out Louds. Approaching their debut EP release ‘Love Billows From My Soul To Consume You Splendid People As An Avala
