Today's featured shit

They’re all Australian. (You can’t tell.) And they’re all pretty amazing.
Tara Simmons sounds like Mirah on “When You Say I Don’t Care About You.” Brindle sounds like Joy Pop Turbo with “Splinterfights.” They’re both excellent tracks if you like female vocals.
Flamingo Crash is good on “Yes! Yes! Yes!” if you’re into Panic at the Disco or those types of acts. They certainly sing with a lot of passion in the studio. The Black Stars have one of the best tracks on the album with “Alright Baby.” If Jet sounded more like these guys I would not hate him/them so much. It’s the same musical style, but the guitar sounds more like something Dinosaur Jr would do.
I also like Liam Griffin’s “Until You Fall.” This is the sound the Dambuilders tried to do. The chorus has a similar melody to “Drive By Kiss,” actually.
Kristy Apps has the last track, “Be Patient.” It’s good for fans of Tracy Chapman. It’s the same melancholy, stripped down (under) sound that you’d expect.
