Negative Gears Moraliser LP
Over the summer, NEGATIVE GEARS from Sydney released this great full-length Moraliser, packed with bopping punk energy but also a wide range of sonic exploration. “Attention to Detail,” probably my favorite song on the album, reminds me of the ASTRONAUTS merging with KILLING JOKE, only to be a lilting instrumental towards its end. “Lifestyle Damages,” the song that follows, sounds like it could be a BUZZCOCKS or DAMNED song. I guess what I’m saying is it’s just great quality punk rock from the very start until the very end.
