Album Review: Harley Young & The Haymakers - Flinders Parade

"A gorgeous and heartfelt reminder that home is definitely where the heart is."

Flinders Parade is a love letter to Harley Young’s native Brisbane suburb of Sandgate, a warts and all encapsulation of everything he holds dear about his hometown.

The simple songs are recorded with no bells and whistles, but whether it’s the suburb’s physical locale (Margate GF, Spring Hill To The Gate), propensity for fights and Entertainment Centre burnouts (Balls Deep In Boondall) or general idiosyncrasies (Chook Raffle Lady), it’s a gorgeous and heartfelt reminder that home is definitely where the heart is.
