Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bursting from the incredibly fertile Sydney underground, the Australian quintet's debut full-length offers a blistering, highly cynical take on high-speed punk rock. 'Sideroxylon' brilliantly balances manic, Detroit-inspired garage-rock energy with sharp, surprisingly melodic guitar interplay from Kent Steedman and Dave Morris. The undeniably raw, fast-paced attack earned them a formidable domestic cult following and deep respect across the international alternative circuit.
