Album Review: The Living Eyes - Living Large

StarStarStarStar

"...the ten tracks here barely lick the feet of a half hour yet punch home the restlessness, looseness and fun of guitar rock."

Geelong’s The Living Eyes often slide into the skewed shadow of their other deranged compatriots Ausmuteants and Hierophants, yet second album Living Large is a pure, unadulterated slab of scuzzed-up garage rock for the ages that deserves to be heard.

Sounding out simultaneously from the epicentre of punk pub rock, the reinvigorated San Fran modern garage movement yet remaining a feral beast of its own design, the ten tracks here barely lick the feet of a half hour yet punch home the restlessness, looseness and fun of guitar rock.
