HEADLINER OF THE MONTH
June, 2023
The Unkowns
The Unknowns are an Australian band whose music is a rock format that has been stripped to the core. The raw energy of the band is contagious. It is rock gold. The band has released an album called East Coast Low and it is a bunch of punk grunge songs to fall in love with. 'Rid of You' is a punk song which goes straight to full throttle.
The band recently become a four member outfit. Two of the members are from the band, the Chats. The Chats played Coachella a couple of years back and their lyrics are a challenge. I kid you not but one of their songs is about pub food and Chicken Parmigiana, or as the 'Pub Feed' song refers to it as a Parmi. Have a listen.
The Unknowns lyric, on the other hand, are a lot more easy to get your head round. What I love about this band is their back to basics approach. You can tell that they are Ramones and the Meanies fans. 'Shot down' is a song on the album that gives off a punk rock vibe.
The Unkowns have released this album and previous offerings on the Chats-run label, Bargain Bins Records.
This is a fun band and worth checking out.
