Mode by MODE

Adelaide rock band Mode have a curious claim to fame; their debut gig was the first gig to be cancelled in the South Australian Covid lockdown. Left in isolation with time on their hands, the band set about recording their set instead, bouncing overdubs between houses to craft a modern take on power pop. Three years later, following a series of sell-out gigs and further sessions at Wizard Tone studios, the band have released their eponymous debut album on local label End of the Pier Records.
Songwriters Rich Miller and Marc Garnett are both indie veterans, having toured Australia and Europe with various indie pop bands before meeting and forming Mode in 2020. Along with Paddy McGee on keys, bassist Colin Chapman and drummer Derek Leinweber, Mode filter classic Britpop and power pop through an Australian lens.

Written and recorded in various locations around Adelaide South Australia, from the studio to front rooms in isolation and together.
We’d like to thank all that made this happen (you know who you are) and for the countless hours spent over cheese, beer and mixing desks.

Mode is a five-piece Britpop band hailing from Adelaide, known for their energetic and power-pop-infused indie rock sound. Formed in 2020 by songwriters Rich and Marc, the band united with a passion for creating new music paying homage to the iconic British sounds of the 60s to 90s.
