Joint Pains - Ouch

 


Typing in Joint Pains on your search site will probably bring up tons of advice on how to manage your pain. No Pain listening to this. This trio are from Newcastle in Australia and they specialise in high energy Indie Rock, evolving a sort of Power Trio.

I hear a lot of this type of stuff that follows a formula, but these three are different. That energy and the out of ordinary riffs that they come up make Ouch! a really interesting listen. Those riffs allow entry to different genres. There is a great guitar sound.



The intro and guitar sound on Submarine sound very Alex Lifeson and they even add a Geddy Lee type keyboard run. Yet, Sandra Dee gets more 90s Rock, but is still jaunty rather than how Po Faced that genre can be.

Sweet Tooth is more Pop Punk, all pace and none of that robotic vocal nonsense.  You've heard Everything Considered on the current Listening To This Week Playlist. That sounds a s great here and is one of two slightly longer songs. The other being Something To Say which steps wonderfully well into Modern Prog.



This is a beautifully put together album. At times, the trio sound like a Rockier Feeder with certainly more variety. The three are interlocked musically and happily Rock you without getting in your face. A cracking listen, I can't wait to hear more from them.



You can listen to and buy the album at a bargain price here.
