The Unknowns East Coast Low LP

One of these days you’re going to read a review of an Australian release where things are panned, but that sure as hell isn’t going to be today. Bringing to mind other brilliant Australian classics like the RIPTIDES and the EASTERN DARK, this album is a case study in how a foundation of good taste can take you far. These tracks are brimming with power pop hooks, pub rock call-and-response shouts, and classic punk energy. While the UNKNOWNS include members of the CHATS, this is far from anything one might call a “side project,” as the UNKNOWNS have been cranking out hits with regularity for a decade.
