   About Screwtop Detonators
“What makes you any different?” "When these four skinny boys walked into my office on a cold May afternoon, one could be forgiven for thinking here’s another (albeit photogenic) big fish band swimming with a hundred others in the gargantuan toxic and deadly pond that is the Melbourne music scene. Imagine my surprise when listening to their music (and having since had the pleasure of seeing them perform both in their home state of Perth and in some of Melbourne’s most venerable venues) and realising that if it is possible to bring a freshness to stale commercial rock and roll being stamped out of the mill, these boys are doing it. Benny Barbarino and Leroy slikk‘s complimentary guitars and vocal melodies is where it starts – rather than being an Iggy Pop cloned riff on rhythm guitar with standard lead lick at the end of every repetition, the guitars are truly worked together in more of a Verlaine/Hell style partnering. The vocals also are more akin to the Everly Brothers after a hard night on mescal when all the bad stuff is coming out rather than again the stock Bon Scott/Malcolm Young vocals (or even worse a million out of tune Motley Crue “who-whoa”s: leave it to the originals folks). And a true rhythm section knows how to lay it down – manning the cannons rather than a vainglorious and futile charge at the enemy – and Mitchy and Charlie’s bass and drums respectively provide the kidney damaging rumble necessary for the whole thing to work. So tight and exciting live, but with a true ear for melody akin to Redd Kross, Ash, and distinctly Australian acts like the Eastern Dark. Singing about life and rock and Melbourne, but without being elitist like Jet – it’s music for the everyperson but without being just about girls and cars. So show your scars and lend them an ear – it’s not safe, it’s not packaged, it’s not backed by a gazillion dollars. It’s a band hitting their peak with a rhythmic gut punch and a sweet melodic centre, and they make me think that maybe you have to come from miles away to be miles ahead" (Butch Midway, Vice-President Porch Monkey Productions - Jul 2008) DEBUT ALBUM "3,2,1 I'M DONE" OUT IN OCTOBER 08: THROUGH OFF THE HIP RECORDS!
