The combination of cool band name, great cover art and successful previous 45s raises high expectations, but Melbourne-based rock ‘n’ roll duo Thee Cha Cha Chas effortlessly lives up to that with their new 7″. Kylie Coufos (bass, vocals) and Lluis Fuzzhound (guitar, drums, vocals) return with two catchy rhythm & beat hits that together only last 4 minutes. A-side* Our Love is a catchy love song – “It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3” – with a solo that air guitar players can go wild on, flipside Rock ‘n’ Roll Till I’m Dead seems to take the title a little too seriously – “I’ll be laying here in my grave // Waiting for the next wave to arrive” – but the uplifting sound and handclaps make it clear that it’s a party after all.
Our Love b/w Rock ‘n’ Roll Till I’m Dead, recorded/mixed by Paul Maybury, is out now digitally and on 7″ vinyl through Folc Records. *The band corrects me that there is no A-side, but that the 45 has a double B-side – please note. 😉
