RECOVERY ROOM

Wallflower RESIST

Running just shy of a half-hour, the debut album from Sydney’s newest emo upstarts is packed from wall to wall with distorted juts, crystal-clear noodling and vocals that pierce through the heart like doughy, scuzzily produced shotgun blasts. Driven at large by the pristine, American Football-channelling plucks of Christian Saunders (and supplimented by the venomous shreddage of frontman Dylan Mallia),

Wallflower is an album that beggars at once for the sweatiest and most savage of moshes and deep, introspective listens through headphones. We suggest soaking it in through the latter, appreciating the visceral guitar interplay and full-band dynamics, then catching Recovery Room live and wreaking havoc in the former.
