About
MDS is an instrument swapping, rock/grunge/punk band from Melbourne, Australia. The independent duo has left a trail of enthusiastic and passionate fans in their wake across the globe.

Their sophomore album ‘Wise and Dangerous’ released April 4th, 2025 independently and was toured around Australia with a sold-out Northcote Social Club in their hometown of Melbourne and a close to sold out second show added at the Tote. The album charted at #3 on the Indie charts (AIR) and is currently nominated for the Australian Music Prize.

Previous years featured appearances at Rebellion Festival (UK), various support slots, six EU/UK tours, SXSW Sydney twice and a headline set at Ziro Festival in the scenic foothills of the Himalayas in Aranachal Pradesh, India. 2023 was capped off with being handpicked by Mike Muir to support Suicidal Tendencies on their Sold-Out Australian Tour.
