"With a lot of practice, they would have a niche audience that would love their unique sound."

Melbourne folk-punk trio Two Steps On The Water express their vulnerability, honesty and sexuality in their debut album.

Dirge is brutally honest about death with screeches from June Jones while in YoYo has harmony. Decade Of Disrepair and Shaving Cut showcase Sienna Thornton's amazing violin skills that are incredible throughout the album. Lyrically the album is great and refreshing with its themes of sex, queerness and sadness, but vocally June Jones is tone deaf to the point where it almost makes ears bleed. With a lot of practice, they would have a niche audience that would love their unique sound.
