“4 stars out of 5… hits a balance between straightfaced black-as-pitch humour and catchy-as-hell rock in a manner not seen since McLusky's mighty masterpiece McLusky Do Dallas… Don't make the mistake of passing this by: Paid Presentations for International Cola is already one of the best Australian albums of 2009.” Andrew P Street, TimeOut Sydney
Paid Presentations for International Cola
“9 / 10... Their intelligence is what sets them apart from the pack,
from the advertising concept embedded in 'Publicising Ice' to the
genius of hooks like those in 'Obliterati'.” Ash Easton, BLUNT Magazine
“Regularly hilarious… bouncing, sing-along rock that offers a cutting critique of modern society.” Jakeb Smith
BRAG Sydney, RAVE Brisbane

Great tunes on your space. Thankyou for being a friend of New Translation. We invite you to taste a section of our upcoming album with a track named 'Found'. On this track we have liberal sprinklings Geoff Bradley and Pete Raidel (Goose) on trumpet and sax respectively, the dish finished with Tony Minnieconn's patented vocal awesomesauce. Please let us know what you think? The track will be up for the month of May so get your fill until our anticipated album release towards years end. Cheers Shaun M
