Hello Bamboo - True Bromance

I haven't listened to any local music in far, far too long.  So, when my good friend Stephen asked me to listen to his "moustache rock" band's new EP, I obliged.  Here's what I think.  Click the link, then read what I put.

Go here and listen

OK, track by track real-time review.

'Lumberfusch' - The Bloodhound Gang are stood in the corner, trying to shake their heads disapprovingly at the lyrics, whilst crying on the inside because they've been outrocked and outcrassed.

'Brine Spine' has the best awful guitar/synth solo I've ever heard. The bits that aren't loud sound like a paedophile's mixtape.

'Olive Reed (New Year's Eve)'. If someone made Ian McKaye take loads of drugs before a Fugazi rehearsal, this would be what the music sounded like before the band kicked him out for taking drugs.

'Poop Mouth'. I'm trying not to listen to the lyrics, because the music sounds like the song should be really serious.

'Who's That Man?' My favourite bit is Micky Rourke.

Seriously though, this is actually a really awesome sounding slice of rock pie. The production is excellent, and it made me smile all the way through. Two thumbs fresh.
