Album Notes & Community Reviews

Cementing their reputation as one of Australia's premier high-energy rock bands, the quintet delivered a ferocious set of rapid-fire guitar tracks. 'Roman Beach Party' balances aggressive, Detroit-style punk riffing with intelligent, cynically observant lyricism. The record firmly established their underground presence in Europe and the United States alongside their Antipodean peers.
