If you haven't listened patiently or aged into your 30s very far, I'm not surprised by your ho hum sentiments. I've had to explain to more than few younger folks why they're so good. It just sorta resonates perfectly for people who've been around the block so many times and that've been stewing in their own juices forever, it seems. They also fit rather well into the story of Aussie punk dating back to X (check their
Aspirations album) and Feedtime (first three albums totally rule!) and everything that came out on Aberrant Records. It's certainly more mature than any of that stuff, so certainly ECSR can be a lot less immediate.
If you wanna hear something new from Australia that's more immediate perhaps and that seems more like a page from an early chapter just sorta ripped outta that same Aussie punk/post-punk/whatever story, check out these...
