Australian Band Takes On Iconic "The Chain"
14 Jun
Summary
- The Tullamarines covered Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" live.
- Their EP "Safety Blanket" is nominated for an AIR Award.
- The band is gaining momentum in Australia's music scene.
Australian indie-pop band The Tullamarines recently performed a cover of Fleetwood Mac's classic song "The Chain" at the triple j studio. The four-piece group emphasized their vocal harmonies while respecting the iconic breakdown and jam of the original track.
This daring cover choice was met with initial apprehension from the band, who admitted to being scared of not doing the song justice. They ultimately decided to proceed, noting the lyrical themes and construction of "The Chain" as particularly angsty.
The Fleetwood Mac track is famously from the 1977 album "Rumours," a monumental record that spent 31 weeks at number one on the Billboard 200. Despite not being released as a single, "The Chain" has become one of the band's most recognizable songs.
Meanwhile, The Tullamarines are experiencing a significant upward trajectory in Australia. Their 2025 EP "Safety Blanket" has been nominated for Best Independent Pop Album or EP at the upcoming AIR Awards ceremony. The band has spent the last year building considerable momentum through sold-out headline shows, festival performances, and achieving full triple j rotation.
