Album Review: Toehider - Good

StarStarStarStar

"If the tunes don't reel you in, then the artwork will."

Firstly, it must be said that a band with the word 'toe' in its moniker has got game.

Luckily game is something Melbourne prog-rockers Toehider certainly have in spades; it's served them well throughout their string of bold releases and off-the-wall live shows and Good is absolutely riddled with it. The chaotic mix of folk, prog and glam rock - with a healthy dose of black humour - are tumbled out from start to end and bolstered in between with thumping riffs (see: Funny Things and How Do Ghosts Work). If the tunes don't reel you in, then the artwork will.
