Review by: Andy Malcolm
This two song 7″ from Australia is one of those weird, rare records that feels like it was almost tailor made for me. Now, that may seem a bit egotistical I know, but when you haphazardly record a couple of songs in the fashion of some mid 90s ne’er-do-well so that the songs, which positively drive along, are muddy and lost, and the vocals are sinking … sinking chest deep into that mud … and the guitars are flying, then twinkling, over the warm bass sounds, and those previously mentioned vocals are out of tune, and … it sounds like the Hated mixed with Evergreen’s Trudy Pushpin 7″, then you have to start wondering. Maybe this was tailor made for me? I mean the finish of “Stone Walled Garden” with a killer little bit of bass tangling with the chiming guitar is EXACTLY like the Hated. No band does that shit these days. Both of these songs nail it, it’s a great sound, a blend of emo and punk in a fashion that has rarely been attempted since the Pine departed this world. Good works, Aussies!
