This trio from Melbourne, Australia -- already hitmakers back home -- revives the juvie mentality of several generations of guitar slingers, blending rockabilly's greasy-haired swagger with pissed-punk vitriol. Thumping upright bass, sharp, loony guitar solos and wound-up ska rhythms burn bright, as twenty-four-year-old Chris Cheney hollers about the pitfalls of "Growing up, yeah! Growing up, yeah!" in today's "Society! Society!" There's even a little thoughtfulness in the band's fury: "Our generation gap means the war is never won," Cheney sings on "Prisoner of Society." "The past is in your head/The future's in our hands!" The Living End is a bracing call to arms for the coming wave of rockabilly renegades. (RS 806)
