NEW ALBUM- "WINNER." OUT NOW THRU LOW TRANSIT INDUSTRIES
"This is a ridiculously classy jam, like Guided By Voices fucking around with Pavement, and it’s the kind of thang you’d play at a party if you wanted to make sure that it turned out to be UNBELIEVABLY memorable" Rose Quartz
"I could piss in the pocket, and reel off a few more brilliant achievements, but i'll keep it at this: these guys do a great job. They have an un-sullied approach to music making that is exemplary, and they deliver it with balls" Triple J - Home & Hosed blog
"Tough times call for celebratory pop songs. And they don’t come much sweeter than ‘Party To Survive’... just try not to like this" Mess+Noise
"No Through Road are one of the truly interesting bands in the country at this moment, and should be revelled in and appreciated, and not taken for granted" Time Off

NO THROUGH ROAD is the kind of band that could play a birthday party, a wedding or a wake. Even when the words are sad and the guitars bawl and holler from grubby amplifiers, No Through Road finds a way to package those emotions and turn them into sonic treasures. Led by charismatic crooner and slacker king Matt Banham, the group is at once gloriously loose and noisy, yet warm and sincere, their songs taking no time to stick in your brain and consequently be hummed and whistled for days on end.
Check your high gloss hipster crap at the door, loosen some buttons, crack a beer (or twenty) and get down with the best party band to come out of Adelaide since the year punk broke. Pavement sang about haircuts; No Through Road don’t care if you’re fluffy, furry, bald, cowlicked or moustachioed. All they ask is that you uncross your arms, come down the front, and together with them, proceed to dance the night away.
Over the years the band has been praised by everyone from Triple J to local radio and street presses all over the country, and has played with the likes of Okkervil River, The New Pornographers, Hold Steady, Death cab for cutie, Ben Kweller, The Microphones, M Ward, The Tallest Man on Earth, New Buffalo, Love of Diagrams, Wolf n Cub, British India, Something for kate, the Unicorns, Sage Francis, Black Neilson, Jens Leckman as well as indie rock saints Calvin Johnson and Lou Barlow. The band even played the giant Adelaide Entertainment Centre along with JET in 2007. Were they the least bit daunted? You’ve got to be joking!
They have also played 2 Big Day Out festivals and a wondrous gig at St Jerome’s Laneway festival.
yo! Check em' out!
Hey there, sorry to be one of those people but here's a bulk message... from the heart.
We're been
hitting the road with friends 'The British Robots' and travelling all
along the east coast. This Saturday we celebrate a successful tour with
the Adelaide home show finale! We're
going to be at The Rhino Room on June 20th (this Saturday) at 9pm with
'The Honey Pies' who are more than awesome in their own right!
Congrats on new album recordings of musics. I have nostalgic feelings when listening to particular ones. Feels like grade 6 lovesick for pretty girl who hates me. Fantastic.
