Eddy Current Suppression Ring



At every single rock festival, pretty much all the bands you really want to see end up being disappointing, and the bands you've heard of but only go and see because you need a place to sit down end up being rip-snortingly awesome. Case in point are Eddy Current Suppression Ring, who take the stripped back, schizophrenic feel of post-punk (ie- The Birthday Party, The Fall), and give it some real raw, manic rockabilly fever (ie-The Cramps, The Gun Club). But they are a band of the now, and their music reflects this. Stand-out performers at this year's Big Day Out. Loud, attention-grabbing and swaggering, Mess and Noise magazine made a bigger deal out of their last album than Bob Katter makes about sugar-based ethanol.

Rest assured, that joke is funnier if you don't get it.

'Get Up Morning' sums up their sound in a packed-in three minutes of distortion-free hyperactive no-wave punk. Check it.

And for good measure, another of those wobbly camera-work YouTube clips people have of reunion concerts. This time it's The Gun Club.

I went into Doll House for a Sherri Hill dress and I had the worst time. The staff was rude and no help to me they made me feel as if I didn’t belong into their store. I well never return there and I am glad I didn’t purchase my dress from that store.
