The 1986 Listening Post - Died Pretty - Free Dirt

Died Pretty - Free Dirt



#343/2023
August 1986
Died Pretty
Free Dirt
Genre: Alternative
3.25 out of 5


More Aussie rock. This time of the 80s-influenced-by-the-60s Psychedelia. Like…Garage Psychedelic. With…a saxohophone. 
It’s a big sound that I would bet hard earned money has never ever ever shown up on an 80s retrospective radio station. 
Like “80s Deep Cuts” on Sirius (if that exists) doesn’t even know about this band. 
It was right around “Through Another Door” that I thought, “this sounds like a pretty solid set of musicians and I could absolutely see them playing and looking at each other as Vocalist Brett Myers warbled off-key, rolling their eyes and thinking, well, it pays the bills.”
Except for, say, the bass player, who thinks the singer’s the shit. 

He’s not.
