![]() ![]() The record also touches on colonialism, macho bullshit, PC culture and more, all with a nuanced touch. He tries to live a considerate, positive life in "Brigantine St" but finds obstacles at every corner: "I want to believe in the revolution / I want to believe in my contribution / But the bastards keep winning!" On "Face of the Future," he finds idiots everywhere he turns, the right and left, and wonders "Does it get you hard, spitting in the face of the future?" over a pummelling descending riff. Songs are socially conscious but not preachy or condescending, and are told from a decidedly working class POV. ![]() He's a raw-throated howler with an unmistakable Aussie accent, but underneath that craggy bark is a thoughtful lyricist and a keen observer who is not afraid to hold a mirror up to his part of the world, including himself. ![]() The real surprise though is frontman Jacob Boylan. ![]()
