Angular, post punk trio hailing from Brisbane, Australia. Swift on the heels of their startling debut CD “Snakes and Shapes” (Emotional Response), the band have a cracking dynamic follow up.
Four tracks of inspired and skewed pop - raw and beautiful.
Comparisons are inevitable, though potentially lazy, masking the bands originality. (However, The Raincoats, Kleenex and early Slits may give you a suggestion of the bands sonic intent). Heidi’s vocals are joyous in delivery, almost primal in execution. Spacious drums, present a unique clatter and clang provided by Skye, freeing up the bass to provide rhythmic anchor. The guitar, (Glen), is remarkable; inventive and unhinged.
What a fantastic find. Throws all of my love for Wire, Minutemen, The Waitresses, and every other herky-jerky art-punk band, into a blender and comes out better than a kale smoothie. But beyond the nostalgia factor, these are sharp songwriters and arrangements. Excited to see them live tomorrow night! Ragle Gumm

Is this one of the cutest post punk/ New Wave all girl bands on the planet? YES! Melbourne is brewing some great Muzak, thank heavens for Bandcamp, Radio in Australia has been obsolete for 40+ years. James .R. Dixon
