Display Homes play postpunk I could see nonfans of postpunk also fall for. Display Homes’ new LP has the angularity to place them in the postpunk bin, but their edges do not need sharpening. Just take a listen to Nitty Picky, the opening track of What If You’re Right And They’re Wrong? It has a contemporary sound that has the bite and melody of a late ’70s punk song. That’s a recurrent theme on the new LP. Bite and melody. Killer guitar work as well, and driving bass rhythms in synergy with frantic drumming. The threepiece from Sydney play so damn tight and with so much energy, they almost leave you short of breath. Powerful, exciting stuff built on a dark and sad history – the death of their guitar player and best friend Darrell whose amazing guitar playing is all over What If You’re Right And They’re Wrong?
LP available at Erste Theke Tontraeger.
