Product Description
CD Description
Aussie garage-pop ‘n’ surf-punk duo Bleeding Knees Club release their debut album Nothing To Do on IAMSOUND/Columbia Records. Alex Wall (drums and vocals) and Jordan Malane (guitar) AKA Bleeding Knees Club burst out of Australia’s Gold Coast in early 2011 and started to build a steady fanbase through their reckless live performances and via their super-catchy demos, which quickly found champions beyond the Aussie board scene. Their debut UK single, "Have Fun", was released on the Noir label in 2011 and quickly struck a chord with UK tastemakers, enjoying radio support from Zane Lowe and Huw Stephens on Radio One and Lauren Laverne on 6Music. The duo spent much of the summer of 2011 in the UK where they shared stages with Black Lips, Cults, Toro y Moi, Blood Orange and Cerebral Ballzy. They also scored spots on The Great Escape in Brighton and Liverpool Sound City while NME named them as one of the 50 Best New Bands of 2011. Between UK commitments, Jordan and Alex then high-tailed it to New York City to record their forthcoming debut album with Dev Hynes (Lightspeed Champion and Blood Orange) as producer. The upcoming record, Nothing To Do, encapsulates everything that's making people fall in love with Bleeding Knees Club: it's a raw 'n' urgent set of super-fun songs. The album was mixed in the UK by Dan Grech-Marguerat (The Vaccines, Chew Lips, Kaiser Chiefs).

This is a fantastic record. No doubt about it. Became aware of this band via the "Truth or Dare" single which was a free download on here a little while ago. Anyone who heard the song loved it straight away. "Nothing to Do" proves to be an addictive cocktail of wild and raw fun punk with a slight nod towards early sixties surf rock (especially on "Truth or Dare", which is not on this album, but worth adding to your downloads). If you're old enough to remember the Violent Femmes, then yes, you'd say that these might have been of influence here, or - consciously or not - the Buzzcocks, early Gun Club and even a bit of Pixies, but just as well one can say that the whole "in the line of" thing is completely irrelevant, that this album just represents what these lads are all about and nothing more, everything seems so immediate, fresh, fun, genuine and done without contrived deliberation ... which is a good thing.

Not sue if Amazon review the reviews but I thought I might buy this album based on the first track sample but the other sample tracks last only 1 second. Can someone tell when this gets fixed, please.

Wasn't sure what I listening to initially but BKC blend catchy surf guitar punk with melodies from the late fifties and early 60s to make one catchy album. If you like the Wavves or No Age you'll definitely like BKC, the whole album is good.
