GREEN NOISE EXCLUSIVE BLUE Vinyl Edition of 100.
"Eggs are for making // chains are for breaking // This world is ours for the taking."
Ripping punk-rock set from Australia, with plenty of swerves and surprises to grab you by the ears and shake some action into your innards. Urgency running maniacal through both sides, crush, mill, destroy, nonstop kicking it out, each cut nose-diving into the louder faster while often featuring its own kinda thing (punk trio charging forward but other instruments briefly injected into the whirlwind near the end of a few cuts, maybe bagpipes on one, squealing sax on another, and maybe vibes on yet another!), with musical nods to the work of punk-rock ancestors (circa 1969 - 1983) and a shitload to say through the raging storm of riffs, rants and rhythm. It's a punk-rock onslaught to topple over your heads of state and start your morning right. Australia hits it again! -- winch (mister green noise)
songs absolutely slay. Hits me right in my giddy bone. Tuff-but-not-too-gruff, loud, angry and tuneful, fierce but not abrasive or overly aggressive, I just love this freakin' band, man. -- MattAttack
