TERRY MALTS
Since 2010 and over 2 albums and a slew of singles and tapes, Terry Malts have been exploring the murky area where hope meets disgust, an area populated with anger, hatred, exhaustion, delusion, seclusion, consumption, life, death, breathing, eating and a host of other conflicting and confusing ideas. Their records to date have a been a refreshing blast of catchy punk, pop-influenced but also chaotic, noisy, shredding. Imagine Bubba from Void sitting in with Descendants and and you're part of the way there.

CHOOK RACE are Matthew, Carolyn and Rob. They are from Melbourne, Australia. They play guitar music of the pop variety. They like a good time. Forming in 2010, the band started out as a scrappy garage surf band, but soon developed a greater pop sensibility, born of their love of the Flying Nun bands and other bedroom favourites. After a string of of tapes and 7s they self released the debut LP About Time in 2015. They now now return with new LP Around The House, which is due for release in September through Trouble in Mind (and Tenth Court in AU, NZ & Japan). The songs are oddly withdrawn yet highly personal. Captured in a single day by Tom Hardisty (NUN, Woollen Kits) and mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current Suppression Ring) the album has an urgent simplicity. The sound is defined by jangly guitars, boy-girl harmonies and lyrical observations of the everyday. -- Trouble in Mind
