ABORTED TORTOISE – An Beach LP alternative but more often than not

but more often than not it’s a batch of four-on-the-floor pogo-friendly numbers that will have even the most jaded message board lurkers rethinking what the Los Angeles underground has to offer

a monster that gives Blue Cheer a run for their leaden blues

You could hardly invent a more perfect template for a pre-punk cult rock band than the Flamin’ Groovies

Each song playfully explores and redraws the boundaries of punk-infused pop

a band who have periodically come into favor as an indie inspiration

ABORTED TORTOISE – An Beach LP alternative but more often than notWestern Australian punk lots of sun struck goon flecked thrashing and a salty scintilla of uncynical surf rock. With the lo fi immediacy of the Sonics, the faux dumbass sensibilities of the Ramones and the sly musical inventiveness of the Dead Kennedys. Meanwhile you're also reminded of Melbourne brat boys Ausmuteants.
