Offense isn’t clicking? Missing the “Heavy Metal Football” of the past? There’s a certain unemployed Australian who might be just the ticket.

This paragraph might be the most Music Writer-y stuff I've ever written. Thankful that in whatever fugue state I was in when I wrote this, I at least avoided "urgent."

Honestly, try "Highly Refined Pirates" some time for some more accessible (if still noodly and semi-unpolished) stuff, plus hits/fan favs like "Absinthe Party" and "Get Me Naked 2" (bad song titles throughout I'm sorry). Also maybe give the "They Make Beer Commercials Like This" EP a try some time.
