The Clinch return with new single ‘Melbourne’ ahead of third album

Melbourne street punk outfit The Clinch have released their new single ‘Melbourne’, the first track to be lifted from their upcoming third album Time’s Up, due on vinyl in June 2026 via Sunny Bastards Records.

Rooted firmly in classic oi! tradition, the song captures themes of loyalty, identity and the changing face of local culture. Built around driving rhythms and direct, no-frills energy, ‘Melbourne’ reflects the band’s focus on camaraderie and standing by your mates through everything.

Alongside the new release, the band have confirmed plans for a European tour in October 2026, with dates to be announced. The run will include shows alongside The Last Resort and Toledo Panic, as well as an appearance at the Pogorausch Festival in Dresden.
