On an alternate timeline, Elvis Presley is still alive, living in Melbourne, going by the name Elvis II — and he’s mutated into a sleazy rock-’n’-roll punk kid.

The name of his new record is Thank You Very Much, because some catchphrases just refuse to die. The songs are driven by monster guitar riffs slathered in grease — one track is even called Million Dollar Riff, fuhgodsake! – a song originally written by Skyhooks. There are so many fun and dirty riffs here that I quickly lost count. But honestly, trying to keep score misses the point. Thank You Very Much is built for a full-body, below-the-neck experience.

From the unhinged opener to the chaotic closing title track, Elvis II tears it up without ever looking back. Songs like I’m a Dog are as hyperactive as they are infectious, pure unfiltered energy. When I’m With My Brothers could easily be the new theme song for music-loving brothers worldwide — it’s that immediate and anthemic. This record leaves a glorious mess in its wake.

Out now on Legless and Under The Gun, which is all you really need to know: this one’s the real deal.
