BLEEDING KNEES CLUB - Fade The Hammer LP
$34.95
From its front-cover photo of four hooded hoodlums setting a street ablaze to the incendiary anthems contained inside, Bleeding Knees Club's new album "Fade The Hammer" is the sound of a band on fire. Restless and revolutionary, the record sees the Sydney-based foursome bringing the heat across eleven songs of pummelling garage-rock, nervy punk and candy-coated shoegaze.
Working with producer Lachlan Mitchell (The Vines, The Jezabels), frontman Alex Wall points out it's the first album he's ever made with a full band. "It's the most fun I've ever had in a group", he says. "And you know, we really are a gang of misfits - I was born in California and moved to Australia as an infant. Nick comes from the far NSW north coast, while Mikey and Gio grew up in Sydney's rough western suburbs. But when we play together it's like nothing else matters, and it's us against the world".
