MP3: The Twerps - Black Eyes
Another killer one from Melbourne's The Twerps, one of an increasing number of incessant Australian bands repping a wild take on proto-pop or proto-punk. Its the kind of skewed classic jangle that fits just as well into the myth-drenched Night People catalogue on tape as it will on the new 7" that Underwater Peoples are set to release. Furry, casually calamitous, and tinged with this totally antipodean drunk-in-the-early-evening bittersweetness.
They're launching brand new 7"s on Olde English Spelling Bee and Underwater Peoples with a massive US tour:

I love the fact they didn't take the garage path all the way and combined it with what they call - dreamy guitar sound.
(general name for electric guitars with reverb)
It can't truly work, I think this way.
