Brisbane rockers Violent Soho are back with their signature straight-forward and measured punk on ‘Hungry Ghost’. Violent Soho, if you are not already familiar with them, sound like they have just jumped right out of the 90’s punk scene and frequently are, almost unavoidably, compared to the grunge greats, Nirvana.

‘Hungry Ghost’ is full of anthemic repetition and recurring growls, which occasionally deliver unrestrained aggression, but for the most part are used to add emphasis.
It begins with ‘Dope Calypso’, which spends a good half of a minute holding back, and then launches into the simple punk and unabashed vocals of Luke Boerdam. It ends flawlessly with a selection of overlaid vocals that are left to hold their own when the instruments cease.

‘Covered in Chrome’ is definitely a standout track among the greatness, and arguably, is the best track on ‘Hungry Ghost’. It is the infectious chants of “…yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…” over and over, which make you want more and more. The back and forth between these moments and the other, more pared back ones, just amplify the effect. The verses in particular are very minimal, as opposed to the blazing punk that is unleashed around them.
The track is said to be written about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

Now the can to compliment!
Forget clarity, there's nothing clean cut about this beer. This is a Pale Ale amplified and distorted in a wall of haze and hop feedback. Galaxy, Nelson and Mosaic riffs drift in a warm fuzz of juicy malt and tropical fruit noise. Plug it in, dial it up, crack the can. Its fuzzy ugly and you love it. Originally brewed in collaboration with Sydney's rock god pizza tossers Frankies. now, time to crack one.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah f#@× yeh!
