The Aardvark

<DIV>
<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>Bench Press head over to WA for the first time to launch their latest album 'Not The Past, Can't Be The Future', out now on</SPAN> Poison City Records. </DIV>
<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><BR></DIV>
<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>On their second full-length, Bench Press have refined their sound by maintaining some the frantic aggression of their self-titled debut, but have also brought a tighter approach to both melodicism and structure. Almost every song clocks in at under three minutes as a testament to their ‘don’t bore us, get to the chorus’ philosophy. Bench Press project the wirey minimalism of early Talking Heads and Devo through a lens of heavier late-80s contemporary post-punk in a distinct shade of Melbourne garage. What was once easily categorised as post-punk can just as accurately be described as ‘really, really loud pop music’ and it’s really, really good.</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN>The second taste of Not The Past, Can’t Be The Future comes via “Old. Self. Doubt”, which perfectly exemplifies the Bench Press ethos - it's short, sharp, clean and loud.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><BR></DIV>
