The Smith Street Band — Throw Me In The River (Poison City Records)
Adored Melbourne alternative-punks are at it again with their third studio album Throw Me In The River. The record, which you've probably play a million times already through our exclusive stream, "demands repeat listens" according to The Music's Mark Hebblewhite. Four stars.
Lagwagon — Hang (Shock)
Another album you've probably been all over this week is the newy from US punks Lagwagon. Hang has been streaming on theMusic.com.au all week and according to our Daniel Cribb, it's a "career-defining record for the band."
Dean Blunt — Heavy Metal (Rough Trade/Remote Control)
UK electro artist Dean Blunt has put out "the most singular work of genius you’ll hear this year" or so said The Music's Bob Baker Fish. It's a big call, but you can make your mind up once the record drops tomorrow.
The Ocean Party — Soft Focus (Spunk)
The Melbourne band have looked to capture a broader audience on their third full length release. "Nothing feels gratuitous," said The Music's Roshan Clerke. Four stars.
