STUDY APP REVIEW Having released their self-titled debut album on Dune 1 (well played Dune Rats!), the local Brisbane band kept in touch with their garage surfer rock roots and delivered an undeniably fun album. The album has made it to number 22 on the ARIA charts, which is reflective of their passion for making killer tunes. They kicked off their national tour on the 12th of Dune, and wait for it… making their way to Brisbane on the 28th at the Zoo! For more information about the tour go to their Facebook, Twitter and Bandcamp profile or alternatively tune into Unpack Yr Suitcases on Phoenix Radio for the latest gigs and local music news.
