Noise rock two-piece Udays Tiger launch their second EP Dead Attention June 14th. Just like their first release Sinners in 2011, the QLD ex pats returned to Brisbane with the reputable Neil Coombe at the wheel once more (DZ Deathrays, Robert Forster, The Grates).

This time, they spent a week up on Mt Nebo, just outside Brisbane in the rainforest-based White Room Studio. The extra time taken with this record was made possible with a welcome boost from a successful crowdfunding campaign. Living and breathing the record from Monday to Friday, they knocked out seven tracks that stand as a solid document from a developing band. Neil Coombe has managed to pull a mix from this that compliments the band’s dynamic perfectly.

This is a record that isn’t afraid to be whatever it wants to be. It’s a rock record, but it’s dynamically and structurally fresh, with pop conventions buried at its core. Dead Attention will come out through Thornbury Records and there will be a limited 10” vinyl pressing available, as well CDs and digital copies a plenty.

The duo has been steadily toning their rock n roll physique since the turn of 2009/10. Shifting from Brisbane to Melbourne in 2011, they started from scratch. Since then, the band have been notching up live shows left right and centre, with a CV that includes a bunch of noteworthy national and international supports: Blood Red Shoes, Children Collide, DZ Deathrays, Violent Soho and the gobsmackingily underrated QLD punk rock veterans, Six Ft Hick!

Nineties world! But not in a retro sense. Like a cleaner guitared Magic Dirt with smatterings of EODM. Sexy breathing too.

Definitely awesome use of timing in this song. A swinging two step vocal complemented by some heavy shredding guitar = a funky rock track.

I feel like I've just stepped back in to the 1970's, with overtones of low-fy and post-hardcore settling underneath. there are those punk songs that ...
