“I think being 22 is such an interesting time in your life,” Melia says when describing the song “Golden Years” off their latest album release, Thieves.

“You move out and you’re faced with all these questions. You start to think about your future. Friends of mine are starting to finish uni and getting jobs and you start to wonder what your life is going to be like. People start to have less time for stuff and the innocence is gone – that’s what ‘Golden Years’ is about.”
