About Us

​

From their humble beginnings busking in Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall, The Inadequates have grown rapidly within the Australian Folk Music scene, and now, at their humble endings they have just released their first three  singles from their debut album confusingly titled “Haven’t You Heard?” (no one ever has)

​

Forming in 2017 brothers Jackson and Marcus Church decided to create a band with High School friend (colleague) Lawson Mackriell under the temporary name “The Inadequates.” Fast forward 8 years and that project has now taken them all over Australia becoming favourites at a variety of different festivals, and they still haven’t found a better name.

​

With a shared love for Folk and Rock, The Inadequates have worked tirelessly to develop their own unique sound. Taking inspiration from a variety of different genres and acts, splicing the intimacy of folk music with the exhilarating energy of a modern rock ensemble.

​

It has only taken them 8 years, but they finally have done something worth talking about at family Christmas. They hope it was worth the wait, and they look forward to releasing their next album in 8 years, the boys think 2033 is shaping up to be a big one.
