Aborted Tortoise

An Beach

Aborted Tortoise's debut album 'An Beach' is just about everything you'd hope for from a Western Australian punk record: 15 tracks, half-hour run time, lots of sun-struck goon-flecked thrashing and a salty scintilla of uncynical surf rock. With the lo-fi immediacy of the Sonics, the faux-dumbass sensibilities of the Ramones and the sly musical inventiveness of the Dead Kennedys, Aborted Tortoise definitely recall a lot of crucial punk touchstones. Meanwhile you're also reminded of Melbourne brat-boys Ausmuteants, and more specifically, '90s Perth band The Feends - bonkers treble-heavy riffing with post-Ventures noodling and snotty sandgroper vocals. Plus, tongues balanced delicately in cheeks.
