Australian Guitar

PORPOISE SPIT

-

THEY ARE a rockin’ and rollin’ four-piece from Melbourne whose intensely sharp and scintillat­ing blend of strumming, shredding and storytelli­ng made putting in this column one of the easiest calls we’ve ever had to make. They describe their sound as “equal parts rosé-rock and suburban punk-ballad” – and honestly, we couldn’t have put it better ourselves.

THEY’RE FOR FANS OF Courtney Barnett, Midnight Oil and Joy Division.

THEIR LATEST RELEASE IS “Middle Of The Night”, a cinematic scorcher that makes full use of every second in its tight and tempestuou­s five minutes. The focal point is certainly the track’s mightily emotive, towering lead vocal (and rightfully so), but the polychroma­tic six-string interplay between Mill O’Sullivan and Elly Hewitt cannot be understate­d – especially in that breathtaki­ng solo about three-and-a-half minutes in.
