WATCH OUT THE AUSTRALIANS ARE COMING!!!!!!! fuck the brit invasion constantly referenced in the music history books, cuz if you wanna write a book about the real underground ROCK N ROLL, you'd most certainly have to include the waves of killer aussie bands that have been invading the states for years...... and though mostly unnoticed by yer average american music fan, these down under bands are concocting some of the best / most fun records you can get yer hands up..... and if you've been reading TINY GROOVES for any length of time now, you know quite a few of these bands and you definitely know about LIVING EYES, a group that perhaps gets to own the title of BEST CURRENT AUSTRALIAN GARAGE BAND, and trust me there's fierce competition for that designation...........so i was more than pleased when earlier this year, ANTI FADE RECORDS (with the help of GET HIP in america) released the self titled debut lp from LIVING EYES........ and it's been on constant spin ever since........
somehow LIVING EYES can cop that garage swagger from MISSING LINKS, THE HAUNTED, SHADOWS OF THE KNIGHT and the SONICS and combine with a fuzzy layer of drunken do-it-yerself / lo-fi rock that makes it sound both like the CLASSICS and the NOW SOUND...... they've found a unique way to reinvent rock n roll, just like fellow garage rockers TY SEGALL, STRANGE BOYS, HARLEM and THE OH SEES, and they've made it rambunctious, sweaty, dirty and out of control again..........
infectious as those old BACK FROM THE GRAVES anthems,
you'll be humming along and shaking yer hips in a quick sec.......
so yes it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
break yer boring indie rock albums in two,
and grab this LIVING EYES lp now................
