Sour Grapes Records present...GEE TEE
GEE TEE is from Australia and has been around for eight or so years now, and this is a compilation described by the label as “eighteen tracks from both the distant future and the nearly forgotten past.” I would describe it as lofi punk/pop that was very popular from around 2006 to 2018. Bands like the OKMONIKS, NOBUNNY, SNEAKY PINKS, HUNX AND HIS PUNX, and others—I can hear some of the same influence as the current Australian bands that are so popular right now. Rocking lo-fi.
1800 MIKEY
A (mostly) one-man show from Australia, this isn’t the kind of thing you always see in punk rock. That said, the dude is talented, and this is extremely melodic and catchy fuzz-pop. The vocals take a little bit of a backseat to the instruments, which at first kind of bugged me. But I adapted relatively quickly and grew to understand that it wasn’t unintentional. Uptempo and poppy, this does remind me of some of the Subway Organization label bands from the UK in the late ’80s. Really top-notch stuff here. Of the ten cuts, nearly half are under two minutes, and none are over three. That’s a detail that always catches my eye (in a good way).
FRUIT TONES
Hailing from Manchester UK, Fruit Tones are the real deal without any artificial sweetener. We're talking one steam-rolling-mondo-garage thud here, folks! Stomping drums, menacing guitars & vocals that bite.
