Punter - Australienation LP

"Punter are back with another barrage of rabid and raucous hits. Still seamlessly straddling the line between proto-punk melodies and hardcore aggression but with even more brass and intensity than before. True resentment and hate for a nation combined with a hard working, Dexie-fuelled tour ethic has led Punter to spit out this jacked up bar brawl of an LP that quite honestly could only have been executed by these three Aussie tearaways.
This record will equally scratch the itch of any Radio Birdman fan, as it would a Dead Kennedys fan, while being completely relatable for the young punks of today."

- Bryan Suddaby

"Punter have always been a unique and original band to me. First hearing their demo during the insane period of covid lockdowns, it was obvious this band was doing something that wasn’t defined by genre or style. Their S/T 12” in 2023 hammered home this point further; increased production, gorgeous harmonies, melodies, raging solos, intense vocals and an immense tour schedule (plus being a fucken tight live band).

‘Australienation’ is a further notch in this bands outstanding output. The amount of effort gone into this LP is huge. The best way to understand is to listen out for all the additional instruments used, there are a few surprises that made my jaw drop. I’ve listened to this multiple times a day for the past few months and it still gives me the same feeling: Punter is the perfect band."
