“It is impossible to deny
no one sounds like Eddy Current
I was hooked from riff one
and I was lucky enough to do a full tour of Australia with them years ago
good fucking boys
simple as beer and chips
and that satisfying live
but that’s not to say there aren't odd complexities to their definitive sound
You can smell Mikey Young's guitar approach
like Sasquatch rustling the bushes
Every time you think you see the bend ahead
you go into a tunnel or backtrack for a moment
then back to a nice place you can call home
Rob’s bass is pub fuzz groove
It’s shells on the floor and leaning against the wall with one hand while you have a piss
thinking maybe you can take that guy?
only one way to find out
oh wait, he’s smiling…
nice bloke
Danny’s drums are a clinic in reservedness
4 on the floor
This guy’s Charlie Watts in the looking glass
every hit a necessity
solid, not flashy
like the lead street tough in a 70’s flick
he don’t say much, but it counts
and then there is Brendan
be-gloved lead mensch in this quartet
singing with earnest street poet confidence
his message coming in on the weird-wire
hard to describe
best to just listen and see
a pub punk priest
We are very pleased to have these boys back on the streets
It had been far too long”
