Aardvark

Aardvark has been played on NTS in shows including You'll Soon Know w/ Tim Parker, featured first on 27 January 2016. Songs played include What Has Water Ever Done To Me?.

Aardvark is an Australian heavy metal band from Melbourne, formed in 2021.

Not to be confused with the cult ‘70s prog band, Australia’s AARDVARK are a classic heavy metal quartet hailing from Melbourne. Born from a desire to bring the masses together with the biting forces of power and honesty, AARDVARK aim to prove there is weight to sincerity and strength in vulnerability.

The band's twin-guitar attack keeps fists pumping with tough-yet-melodic riffs, while their thunderous rhythm section drives the tank forward with unyielding brawn.

The band is known for its traditional heavy metal style, influenced by bands like Judas Priest and Accept, and released their debut album, Tough Love, in 2024 through Dying Victims Productions.

The lineup consists of Ed Vaark (vocals, guitar), Sorcha Wilcox (guitar), Danny Smith (bass), and Dylan Lieberman (drums).

Formation: The band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2021.

Genre: They play traditional heavy metal, drawing influences from the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) scene.

Members: Ed Vaark (lead vocals, guitar) Sorcha Wilcox (guitar) Danny Smith (bass) Dylan Lieberman (drums)

Discography: Their debut album, Tough Love, was released on March 15, 2024, via the German label Dying Victims Productions.

Sound and themes: The music combines mid-tempo rockers, ballads, and speedier tracks, with lyrics that touch on mythical journeys, personal issues, and escapism.

Live shows: Aardvark has gained a reputation for their energetic live performances, including a residency at the Tote Hotel in Melbourne and supporting other metal acts.

Aardvark was a British band active in the 1970s, playing progressive rock, unusual in doing without a guitarist.

They gained some fame from the fact that Paul Kossof and Simon Kirke played in the band before leaving to form Free; following the pair's departure, Aardvark became mainly a recording band, though they only released one album, with the lineup: Stan Aldous (bass), Frank Clark (drums), Steve Milliner (keyboards, recorder, vibraphone), and Dave Skillin (vocals). Their material centred on keyboards, most notably a fuzzed-up Hammond organ.
