Album Review: Damn Terran - Damn Terran

This trio's gritty new record flaunts crunching guitar riffs cushioned by scuzzy distortion. A grainy, melancholic haze underpins Lachlan Ewbank's coarse vocals while the band tear away at their distinct '90s grunge-rock sound. While the grinding, chord-driven Wrong Things sees Ewbank exude the engrossing apathetic vibe of Kurt Cobain to great effect, Ali Edmond's vocals on So Ordinary and menacing live favourite, Rebel, provide a nice point of difference. Though a little repetitive and missing the frenzied spirit of their live show, Damn Terran is a more than solid debut.
