The Underground Stage
“Lachlan Body is super-relaxed and super-charming, the sort of sound to soothe a thousand angry souls and raise a wry smirk at the same time. Wit and tune, delivered with a jaunty wink.” Facebook | Instagram
“It’d be good to see Body Type again under any circumstances, but on the back of a freshly-signed deal, with a fistful of new ‘uns in the set, in a RAMMED Wayward’s show, it’s just about the finest pleasure around. And if that wasn’t good enough, those fearsomely good new records blister like a bad […]
“Bored Shorts are – quite simply – a bit magnificent. They sway endearingly between gears, delirious and giddy and dreamy and slack as a wet rope. A well-fired delight of a set. And how good is ‘Day And Age’?” Facebook | Instagram

They couldn’t be any more fuzzy round the edges but rough to the roots, like labradors made of steel wool. Also, free of cataracts. SUCH a bloody great big […]
“Nick Nuisance & The Delinquents are well-named. A ratbag noise made by a bunch of scamps who are both making good jokes and thinking of ways to rob you. The sort of thing to make your neighbours claw their own brains out of their ears, it’s a garage racket fit to raise the dead. And […]
