Mclusky

About

Mclusky are a Welsh post-hardcore band from Cardiff, formed in 1996 under the name Best. They built a devoted cult following on the strength of their abrasive noise rock and frontman Andy Falkous' sardonic wit, most fully realised on the Steve Albini-engineered "Mclusky Do Dallas" (2002). After splitting in 2005 and reforming in 2014, the band returned in 2025 with their first studio album in two decades, "The World Is Still Here and So Are We", on Ipecac Recordings.
