cd review: This Australian quartet has a lot of punk rock virtue that could be mistaken for lots of novice mistakes. By that I mean, in true punk fashion, they throw care to the wind and lay their music out with rapid fire aggression giving little thought to staying on key or keeping perfect time. It's not an insult, an entire genre and several generations are built on this foundation. The lyrics read like your best friend's poetry notebook. Peppered with optimism and nihilism, the band does a nice job of writing an album that should speak to a wide array of listeners searching for a new punk rock message.
