Swan Song


A newly formed project made up of members from Brisbane punk bands Fires Of Waco, To The North, Epithets, Waiting Room and Shakes. Don’t know if they play this stuff live yet, but the music they’re making on record is definitely worth the mention.

Everything about this EP shows how the coming together of separate parts makes the most interesting music. Its melodic, but moody, relatable but disparate.  The production of Mark Perry and the greatness of the band has accomplished making music with the mood of sombre post-punk at its heart.  Everything has sense, like everything played on tape is there only because it has to be.  The minimalist guitar of Ryan Sim underpins the melancholic and  emotional lyrics of Steven Millar Scott ring through. The bass of Cameron Gillard and drums of Simon Reynolds provide a solid underlying rhythm that carries the melodies and notes to a far stronger place. Hope these guys don’t make this project a once off- because their chemistry in creation is obvious, otherwise these songs would not sound as strong as some of these tracks do.
