The Inadequates (Lawson Mackriell, Marcus Church & Jackson Church) are an award-winning trio known for their energetic performances and innovative acoustic sound. Redefining folk with theatrical flair, genre-defying arrangements, and wildly expressive performances, their debut album is bursting with 12 tracks of tightly crafted chaos, reflective storytelling, and musical mischief.

On top of their new release, a slew of festival performances have established them as heavyweights in the Australian acoustic scene, with a live show that is brimming with energy, virtuosity, and humour. The trio’s colourful stage presence and unconventional sound have made them one of the most exciting new acts in the genre, being likened to bands such as Nickel Creek, Mumford & Sons and Punch Brothers.

They also have by far and away the best merch in the game, so once you’ve bought the vinyl (go on, the button is just above), make sure to get yourself to a gig ASAP. You don’t want to miss this.

"There is some top-level folk going on here. We’ve got beautiful mandolin, acoustic guitar, accordion and double-bass. Throw in emotive vocals and sweet harmonies, and this is a masterclass in indie folk-pop that hits from multiple directions." (AU Review) [About 'Genevieve']
