The sun is out, the windows are open, and Blowers have a new album. I’m in the mood for some raucous garage punk, and Blowmania — the band’s third LP in just four years — is best played at full volume.

Sorry, neighbor. This is Blowers. Did you know they’re from Melbourne? That’s where all the good stuff seems to be coming from lately.
What’s that? Yeah, I know they’re a bit loud. But I kinda like my music that way.
They’re really loud, you say? Okay, let me play you I Hate You All The Time, that song is…
Wait — no, I don’t actually hate you all the time. That’s just the name of the song. It’s catchy though, right?
[blank stare]
Honestly, I think this might be their best record yet.
[blank stare]
Here, listen to Civic Duty.

Alright, I get it. Maybe it’s not your thing. But this ticks so many boxes of what a garage punk record should sound like: blown-out, bratty, energetic, and completely unhinged. Did you know they have four singers?
[blank stare]
Fine, I’ll close the window.

Blowmania is out now on Chaputa Records (EU) and Trash Cult Records (Australia).
