Fortunately, when you google image Aborted Tortoise you primarily get images of the band, who for some reason are shoeless in most images. Perhaps that&#8217;s an Aussie thing or perhaps we need to buy more of their music so they can afford some footgear.<\/p>\n<p>The band&#8217;s most recent case for giving them your money is the generically titled <em>A Album<\/em>. It&#8217;s the band&#8217;s second full length, with some EPs released between the two LPs. I have to say, Aborted Tortoise (Perth) make a convincing case with the record. Their songs are speedy and angular garagepunk bursts that are raucous and loud. There are some outsider tracks on <em>A album<\/em> which bring some welcome variation: <em>DLC<\/em> is Aborted Tortoise&#8217;s take on a surf instrumental, whereas <em>F.O.I.L.<\/em> almost sounds like &#8217;80s American hardcore. <em>Back Patters<\/em> is my favorite song though.<\/p>\n<p>Aborted Tortoise sounds kind of weird, but in a good way.
