Edit history

James Dylan & The Sadmen is the solo studio project of singer, songwriter, and producer James Dylan (real name Dylan Monk - but that doesn’t sound as cool, does it?). While Dylan is usually the principal songwriter in his other projects (such as WAM Song of the Year-nominated band, The Methamphetaqueens) this is the first project he’s entirely written and performed (except for percussion) by himself; it’s called I Get It, and he’s very proud of it. Working with frequent collaborators and human rhythm machine Stewart Martin (Special Brew, The Methamphetaqueens), and studio wizard / Perth music scene veteran Andy Lawson at Debaser (Eskimo Joe, Timothy Nelson, Our Man In Berlin), Dylan delivers a slew of colourful pop bangers, fusing classic rock tropes with a modern edge and noisy yet slick production.
