Here's what some people have said:
"the bastard child of the Hothouse Flowers and They Might be Giants"
From the primordial slime of the independent music scene in the muddy gloom of a long Melbourne winter, the Phosphenes have emerged with their unique pop n roll sound.
Delving shallowly into the world of relationships, longings, and reformed vegetarians with laptops, armed with poignant and quirky humour and dripping in vocal harmonies, the Phosphenes create imperfect 3-minute pop songs from a standard dysfunctional rock line-up with added saxophone for your convenience.
Describing your life or the one you almost had, there's no teen angst here, only the slow ache caused by trying to gnaw away at the limb stuck in the trap of the world.
Now here is a selection of miscellaneous old recordings. Not as polished as the ones above (though some are pretty OK). For your enjoyment only, not to be taken internally...
Hello again, a couple of boys from the Custom Kings have a side project called Joe Neptune. Joe's debut album, "No Time To Grow Up", is in stores now. Bonus tracks are available in iTunes. Thanks
