Live at No Sleep Til Festival, Sydney. This Australian punk act deploy a wicked sense of humour (particularly in their choice of song titles – the free track here leaves you in no doubt about their perspectives on Johnny Ramone!). Australian rock music journalist Ed Nimmervoll summed them up best: "[their] history is littered with legendary stories, perhaps true, perhaps exaggerations, but stories which fuel and match their song and album titles. Their songs are often profane, likely to poke fun at someone including themselves, hint at a social conscience, and inside all the tough talk and body jokes be hopelessly romantic." Yes, that approach has got them into trouble on more than one occasion, but hey, they wear their art on their sleeve which is more than you can say about many these days. Whilst the band has undergone various line-up changes over the years, the core duo of Jason Whalley (lead vocals) and Lindsay McDougall (guitar, vocals) has remained pretty constant. Those playing along at home will also know that Whalley and McDougall also held down the Triple J morning shift for a few years as Jay and The Doctor (which was pretty ironic given that the station had previously banned their music!). We caught this set back in 2010 at the No Sleep ‘Til festival (which also featured the likes of Megadeth and the Descendants, whose sets are also now on Moshcam).
