QUEEN HYENA: S/T Vinyl LP

Melbourne has always punched above its weight in noise. Queen Hyena are proof the city never stopped making something worth hearing.

This self-titled debut sits comfortably in the lineage of Australian underground rock that owes as much to Dinosaur Jr's blown-out guitar worship as it does to the shoegaze haze of early Slowdive and the raw, coiled energy of local punk. It's grimy without being sloppy, melodic without going soft. The kind of record that sounds like it was made by people who actually live inside the music, not around it.

Standard weight vinyl LP. Melbourne band, Australian release.
