The Maladies are back! Well, they’ve been back gigging for the last year or so but this is the first new release since the Sydney group’s fine debut album With You Right By My Side, Baby The Deal Just Can’t Go Down came out in 2009. With a new album on the horizon, Something About Your Girlfriend previews their new sound – updating and expanding their swampy gothic blues vibe with a modern sheen, strafing twin guitars and Daniele Marando’s dramatic, hyper-expressive vocals complete with hiccups and falsetto reaches.

See below for their Something About Your Girlfriend mini tour dates.
