remember, go buy this if you give it more than one listen.

Australian music kicks arse. Always has, always will. We’re just glad

that you’re all on board for the ride. We here at OZM will continue

to shove Australian music right in your face proving that it’s at

least equal to and usually better than any international act.

The crowning glory of the local music industry – the last bastion of

hope.

It doesn’t come around often that a band get to their third album,

let alone unscathed.

But it’s a time for exceptions.

What has set The Mint Chicks apart from their counter rivals is

natural song writing ability.

Since Opium for the People, they have hinted at the direction they

could take, one that would separate them from the other jump around

screamo bands at the time. And then leading onto Crazy Yes Dumb No,

Kody’s true talent came through with the most dominating album to

come from NZ in years.

This new album Screens is a path not too far from their last album

and I’d be hard pressed to pin point this, but I like a challenge.

Fifties inspired progressions with bedroom DIY instead of smooth

studio sounds but rather the grittier side of the effect spectrum.

This is The Mint Chicks synthesized.

There’s still the heavy lead of the vocal steering the album but the

musical side of Ruban is not be messed with. Songs can turn at any

given moment without the slightest sense of disjointedness.

It’s a worthy album for listening, playing fuckn loud, studying

songwriting, hell what ever you feel like.
