Music for fly-swatting back-porch days

Before you get all angsty that Whyte Zebra got the arts grant to make a CD/DVD single release that your ‘indie-trip-bop-banana-core’ band deserved, have a listen. Every member of this Central Queensland pub staple fits together easily to bring a brand of alternative rock that’s less ‘painfully hip’ and more ‘established, successful band that knows exactly where they’re at musically’. The lead track, Double Or Nothing is a sweeping, melodic number that benefits from the outstanding vocals of Andy Stanhope. The clip for the track is simple but effective, proving that this outfit is a low-key, natural occurrence against the backdrop of a country town. It also features a cute dog. The bonus tracks, instead of being fillers, seem to outshine the main event. Gorgeous instrumental piece, Closer To Getting Close, demonstrates the skill of Bec Romeo on violin, and Knock Knock stands out as a memorable, drum-heavy track reminiscent of Alice In Chains.
