Album Review: Postblue - I Hope They're Praying For Me

Brendan Telford

Don’t yet have the ingenuity or nuance to make these inspirations their own.




Byron Bay youngsters Postblue wear their influences bloodily tagged to their sleeves on their debut record, I Hope They're Praying For Me, and don't yet have the ingenuity or nuance to make these inspirations their own. A stylistically lightweight album that attempts to take on angst-ridden issues with the kind of brio that the likes of Violent Soho laid to waste in their fledgling days, the tracks here remain uninspired melodic grunge numbers that teeter precariously on the MOR side of the rock'n'roll highway.
