Answered by: Tim Meaco (vocals/guitar)

EP Title: Tales From The Sea, Vol I & II

How many releases do you have now? Aside from a couple of singles, this double EP is our only record out. Two EPs with four tracks apiece.
 
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? We recorded in a house in the northern beaches, channeling a Zeppelin-esque fashion; drums in the stairwell, everything turned up to 11. Accompanied by the studio dog Billy, who would sing whenever we recorded harmonica.
 
What's your favourite song on it? I’d have to say Hope, it really grooves and has some fun progression. It’s probably the most uplifting track.
 
We'll like this EP if we like… The Black Crowes, Jack White, The Bronx, Black Sabbath.... Bluesy-hard rock with incendiary guitar sounds and bell-bottom swagger. 
 
When and where is your launch/next gig? Brighton Up Bar on Oxford Street, Sydney on Saturday, 8 August. After touring nationally for the past few months we’re pretty excited to let loose on home turf. It’s always a party at Brighton.
