West ThebartonGargantuan pub rock and distinctive out-front vocals: there are plenty of hidden intricacies to discover within Adelaide seven-piece West Thebarton Brothel Party.
Without a doubt the gravelly spoken-word tones of Reverend Ray will become a recognisable Australian voice. Bass-driven mega-jams (see Chemotherapy), surf rock riffs and manic yelling and yowling populate the release. Jangly ballad Two-Bit Loser dominates this 10" EP with its fantastic sure-fire delivery. Touchy Feely is a short, fast-and-hard number, ramping the Brothel Party insanity up to 11. Cricket fans rejoice — album closer Glenn McGrath is a strong finale.
