MoreStralia!


Just a solidly pedestrian series of songs by a band that somehow got a record deal. But it really sounds like it should be good. “Nothing’s Changed” is about as depressing a song about the mundanity of life that I would expect from today’s Zoomers. 

There’s nothing bad here but also nothing that would suggest that this was missing from my record collection. Brian Nichols writes perfectly good rock tunes but really needs a hug. Or therapy. He just seems…sad. Even though the bassist wrote “Restless” it just proves to me that people of a certain personality type gravitate to each other. “Sex” sounds like they listened to a LOT of Rezillos. But, still. Guys, if sex gets in the way of what you want to do…you’re doing it wrong.
