Blistering debut LP of socially-conscious hardcore.

It seems that every year or two another group of high schoolers appear out of nowhere in certain underground scenes and spur on the familiar reaction of “gee those kids sure are doing something well beyond their years!” (See reactions to: Disco Junk, R.M.F.C., The Living Eyes). If I was lazy and condescending, I’d say the same about Concrete Lawn. Featuring members of Circus Variety Act, Dual Citizen, Optic Nerve, Gee Tee, Australian Idol, among others, Concrete Lawn have built an exciting niche within the Sydney underground exploring garage/punk/hardcore/outsider music. Like shop favourites The Proletariat and Zounds, this album reflects the kind of progressive social politics that the band exists within. Concrete Lawn offer up tight, witty and at times humorous missives while embracing the kind of punk that is all too often brushed aside as bratty or teenage. -Mitch
