Comprised of Sam Macdonald, Peter Korotki, and Stephen Brown, the trio delivers an engaging track that captivates listeners from start to finish.

“Tricks” wastes no time in showcasing the band’s musical prowess. Drawing inspiration from the timeless Motown sound, the song features soulful vocals, strummed guitars, a powerful bass hook, driving drums, and complementary horns, creating a dynamic and energetic atmosphere that feels both familiar and fresh.

One standout element of “Tricks” is the unexpected trumpet solo in the middle, adding a delightful touch of whimsy and further highlighting the band’s musical versatility. The music video makes this particular time even better. It’s moments like these that set Mellow Mayhems apart and leave a lasting impression on us, listeners.

Overall, “Tricks” is a stellar debut for Mellow Mayhems, demonstrating their ability to create catchy melodies, beautiful harmonies, and a driving rhythm that leaves audiences wanting more.
