Live Review: BIGSOUND Live: The Love Junkies

The songs scuzzy and leery but rife with hooks and innate melody

WA trio The Love Junkies hit hard like a much-needed punch to the throat with their grunge-tinged rock, the songs scuzzy and leery but rife with hooks and innate melody.

They play with a conviction that shouts how much they love what they're doing and 'screw any industry validation', but seem to be converting copious fans to the cause regardless. It feels like I know all of these songs already because they're so welcoming, and it's probably only in part due to having drunkenly caught them last night inside The Brightside playing before Velociraptor and the rest because the tunes are rad.
