Australian swamp bad ass old-school rockers that were cronies of Nick Cave and Rowland S. Howard and The Birthday Party, back in the day. Basic guitar rock but with a mean swamp sneer. This is a new recording of a recent live performance proving these guys still can rock. This stuff smacks more of Stooges, or AC/DC even, or something Alice Cooper in its bluesy meanness, than say the gothic desperation of the Birthday Party from whence they came. Good bad ass stuff, even if it swaggers a bit in a cockrock way a bit much here and there.

1) dischordant dirgey slow drunk swamp
2) rockin, near cockrockin rootsy and mean
3) FCC
4) dirgey dirty rock
5) halting dirty swampy and mean, with howls and vocal desperation reminiscent of Birthday Party
6) FCC
7) blues-rock feel, a la Trower, smacking of the 70’s, Stooges or something Alice Cooper
8) FCC
9) ah yes, paying homage to AC/DC, and this all makes sense now
10) ballady rock, almost Neil Young
11) FCC
12) just a dorky blues rock jam
