The diversity and quality inherent in the Melbourne music scene never ceases to amaze. This M-Town based three-piece could loosely be described as alternative rock, although of a very quirky kind. They are certainly putting their own unique bent on the style, and doing it remarkably well.
There’s a kind of off-kilter funk vibe to their sound, possibly bringing to mind a more idiosyncratic version of the Chilli Peppers, that comes across in all four tracks on offer here. But probably best exemplified in ‘Rag n Bone Man’, which also winds the funk clock back to the 70s and possibly even further, before rocking out towards the end. In fact this raw rock sensibility is also present in all four tracks, alongside the funkiness, and complementing it beautifully. Single ‘Hamburgers’ exposes this juxtaposition to best effect.
To sum up, if you dig alternative funk-rock, this is your bag. And these boys go absolutely off in a live setting as well. Hopefully a release of more than a few tracks is not far away from these guys.
