It's hard not to let a patriotic sense of pride wash over you when listening to By A Thread, the second full-length from Luca Brasi. The young Tassie quartet deliver world-class punk in the most disarmingly humble manner possible, while somehow managing to make you reflect on the past and celebrate the present all at once. Tyler Richardson's lyrics could have been written sitting on the corner of the street you grew up in, while those clean lead guitar lines of Tom Busby give the raw energy stability throughout. These songs are written for the front rows, for the friends, for the strangers and believers.
