Leave it to the Australians to set a continued high bar for punk rock – or, in the case of Melbourne’s The Judges, rockin’ punk may be a better description.
The Judges are new band but no strangers to creating music worth your ears as the member play(ed) in Smarts, Cereal Killer, and Living Eyes. Their debut album starts off relatively quiet with the introductory title track Judgement Day. From the moment a well timed “UHH!” kicks off The House Always Wins, it becomes clear what The Judges are all about. Kickass rock’n’roll that is loud, raw and primal. The classic Aussie punk of The Judges has a dangerous edge and is full of swagger.
Judgment Day is out now at Total Punk and Anti Fade records.
