Philadelphia's The Barren Marys have released their new single, I Would Choose You, that is available via streaming platforms and…
Five long years since their debut album, Casino, snuck into the ears of Punk enthusiasts around the world, Mini Skirt’s second full length album, All That We Know, has now been hurled at the world. The Australian Pub Punks continue to deliver their brand of jagged, raw political Aussie grit, delving deeper and leaning harder into their signature blend of Australian Punk, All That We Know solidifies Mini Skirt’s position at the forefront of a socially inspired noisescape.
All grit and no glamour, Mini Skirt’s noisy new body of work is underpinned by lyricist and visual artist Jacob Boylan, painting a picture of the modern social climate, every verse and chorus a well crafted and concise assessment that has the listener replaying each line to be sure they don’t miss a word. This is, as always, laid on top of the dirty, driving guitar and bass tones and skin splitting drums that have helped Mini Skirt to develop their own sound in a heavily saturated and competitive corner of Rock ’n Roll. Paying homage to Australian pioneers such as X and Radio Birdman, Mini Skirt’s sound remains raw and honest.
Hailing from Byron Bay in the Far North Coast of New South Wales, the four boys in Mini Skirt produce a timeless sound that’s rough as guts and truly ensconced in the essence of Pub Rock that captures the climate of current-day Australia. Things aren’t always picturesque and idyllic; the vocals are urgent and frustrated while the music has a rawness and melody, sonically painting a picture of the hope through the struggle. All That We Know lands mixed and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring / Total Control), the album is self released in Australia and is available via Bad Vibrations in the rest of the world.
