Sydney post-punk four-piece Mac the Knife hit the road in celebration of their debut EP Down to the Wire — a raw, six-track coming-of-age record capturing themes of heartbreak, identity, mental health, love, and the pressure of modern life. Featuring breakthrough singles Golden, Icarus, and Torn to Shreds, the EP also introduces new cuts like I Live in Awe and the emotionally-charged title track. Co-produced with Wade Keighran and engineered by drummer Jonny Sandstrom between the Blue Mountains and their own studio, Down to the Wire showcases the band’s sharp songwriting, unfiltered emotion, and collaborative spirit — delivered live with the same electricity that’s earned them a spot as one of Australia’s most promising new acts.
