THE BAND

Ezekiel Ox (Vocals)
Pete Williamson (Guitar)
Nick Adams (Bass)
Zane Rosanoski (Drums)

F##k the hype, Mammal are the real deal. A visceral alloy of prog, punk and raw rock, Mammal are forward-thinking and forward moving. This is a band that is seriously going places, and fast.

Livewire four-piece Mammal are already taking Australian stages like a hot-blooded revolution. And for all the right reasons. In an industry typified by manufactured hype, management nepotism and the transparent agendas of major labels, Mammal are a rarity. Independent, loud and proud, and making a big noise via word-of mouth alone.

Like some scarecrow prophet, vocalist Ezekiel Ox spits out his passionate diatribe with a wild-eyed maniacal zeal, fusing rapid-fire rhetoric and soaring melody, while guitarist Pete Williamson lays down the sort of riffage that have any punter’s fist unconsciously forming the horned salute. And throughout, the lock-steady rhythm-section of bassist Nick Adams
and drummer Zane Rosanoski deliver the kind of grooves you can feel in your gut.

Having kicked off the year with Big Day Out and Crusty Demons Night of World Records festival shows, during June/July 2008 Mammal toured the nation armed with a fresh single off their forthcoming album ‘The Majority’.

‘The Majority’ was recorded with Eric Sarafin (Ben Harper, Pharcyde) in the producer’s chair at Melbourne’s Sing Sing Studios, and was mixed and mastered in Los Angeles.

‘The Majority’ is Mammal’s debut studio album, and will be released on August 30 2008 through Shock Records.

Mammal Live Review Quote
Mammal is f**king excellent to watch; there’s no denying it. They have so much energy in their playing and performance that you cannot help but get swept away in it. These guys are building a loyal fan base and you can see why. The veritable frenzy that happened during the playing of Hell Yeah made me feel that I was watching a pack of wild animals unleashed - which is frankly what you want when you’re watching good rock’n’roll. - Carolyn Miller, Drum Media

Mammal EP and Vol.1 The Aural Underground Review Quotes
With their debut, Mammal are announcing that they are equally out to rock the big bad system and your own little world. And if this is the sound of Mammal at six months old, there’ll be no restraining the kind of beast they’ll grow into. Hell yeah. - Jesse Shrock, Beat Magazine

Mammal are like a power generator on overload. For a live recording this is pretty shit hot stuff. Mammal place a heavy emphasis on musicianship, and vocalist Ezekiel Ox has a decent set of pipes to back up his outrageous confidence and charismatic performance. Can I get a “Hell Yeah”?! - Blunt Magazine Take note, people - if you’re gonna make a live album, this is the f**king way to go about it... Hands down, Mammal are probably one of the best live bands you’ll ever see, so why not just press record? - Nick Snelling, Beat Magazine
