Not-too-melodic almost-pop punk from Glen Waverley, which is one of two reasons why I bought this CD. The other reason being that they supported Fugazi playing Wall St in 1993. They remind me in general theme of Dweebs, whom I covered earlier. Similarly, Rootbeer were regulars on the outer-south-eastern suburbs all-ages circuit in the early 90s. They broke up in 1995.
The artwork is rather good, but the vocals have that punky nasal twang. But! It gets better the further down the tracklist you get. There's a bit of evolution going on. It gets almost progressive on tracks like 'Private Beach'... Not quite the emo I was hoping for, but it's enjoyable.
Download in high-quality digital or CD formats at their bandcamp page.The band also released a posthumous compilation in 2004, with a bunch of tracks slated for a second LP that never happened, which I recommend you purchase and download.
