Plenty of you know how we love the Power Pop revival, a slightly more aggressive version of what has gone before, but with the same hooks, riffs and big choruses. Here we have another ace example, all the way from Melbourne.
The (Power) Trio are wonderfully scuzzy. Plenty in common with the scene from the UK and US in 1978. Indeed two thirds of the band are from The Prize, a group whose 2022 EP was adored by us. You can read that review here. All three sing which adds to the variety.
Nothing That I Want even gets all vintage UK Glam Rock, handclaps and all, but it is the Power that grips you most. The trio just don't come up for air and Josh Hardy is not afraid of letting rip with a killer Guitar solo. This is wall to wall shake your fist all the way through.
At times, I am reminded me of The Speedways, but the strength of the album is in how locked in together the three are. This is music to let loose to and is a joy to listen to. Foot Tapping, made for air guitar solos, Last Laugh is a great listen.
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on Vinyl and as a download.
