Australian
lo-fi punks' latest 7” on Market Square Records! 300 copies only!
2017 may still be a
terrible year for politics but it's been an amazing year for new
under-the-radar music. So much so that it's sometimes a struggle to
keep up and write about it as much as I'd like. One of my favourite
small labels keep coming up with the goods, outta Billinghurst of all
places. This 'lil platter actually came out at the tail end of July
and according to the label's website is sold out. But with a bit of
luck and the aid of Discogs notifications you may be able to track
down a copy. Or try the band direct via their Facebook page.
The Shifters are a a
lo-fi punk band from Melbourne, Australia who make music that sounds
somewhere between The Fall's lesser heard melodic moments and the
Dunedin sound that came out of New Zealand back in the '80s. It's
pretty cool. I like it and I think you will too. They also remind me
of an American band called Phantom Buffalo who I think are from
Portland Oregon. They put out a couple of albums that I really dug. I
miss them. But hey this 7” is helping me get over it. Shame
Melbourne is so far away as they sound like the kind of band who
would be very enjoyable and accessible at a gig. Do check them out!
