LUNGS - Solitary, Poor, Nasty, Brutish, Short
-- POISON CITY --

SUMMARY
9 / 10
I like a band who can be constantly active at pumping out new music, especially when they outdo themselves each time they put something new out. Hopefully this is just one of many more quality releases in the future. They are catching up quickly to those who set the mark before them, who knows where they will take it, you could be listening to the next flag bearers for Aussie punk rock.
WHO?
Lungs are a three piece punk outfit that hail out of Sydney and are not afraid to pump out releases, this one being their third in about a 2 year period, which is great to see. This EP was recorded by Lachlan Mitchell who also did their 'An Anatomical Guide' album and once again released through Poison City Records.

WHAT?
A five track EP is what's served up by Lungs this time around, like the album was a step-up from the debut EP, this one is another step-up from the album, which was a ripper, so they've done well to follow that up so nicely. Things are always going to be great when the first pick slide only takes 7 seconds to appear, and right after that, it's just blistering punk rock for the whole 45 seconds of 'Radical Science', The pace stays fast all the way through as their guitar heavy noise makes love to your ears. They have one of the most full sounds going around for a three piece, and a natural one which is another good thing, no overuse of any studio tools and trickery, they keep it realistic and easy to replicate live. There are no dull moments, just good solid tunes from one of the best the country has to offer at the moment.

WHY?
It's about time in the cycle for this brand of melodic punk to poke it's head through once more, and who knows, Lungs could be the band that leads the charge, check it out, five tracks, all quality, you'd be a hard one to please if this doesn't entertain you.

WHEN?
The EP is available now on Poison City Records


WHERE?
You can get a copy of the CD from Poison City Records E-Store.
