THE CELIBATE RIFLES - Quintessentially Yours 1983

This is brand new for me and after the first listen I absolutely loved it. Eight crunchy short punk goodies which captivate me for a short time, away from all this mental cinema. Released on What Goes On Records and included are three songs from their debut 7inch which you can get at kbd records. Let me give you some info from wikipedia: The Celibate Rifles are an Australian punk band which formed in 1979 in Sydney with a line-up that included mainstays Dave Morris on rhythm guitar and Kent Steedman on lead guitar, within a year they were joined by Damien Lovelock on lead vocals. They released their first album, Sideroxylon, in April 1983 on the Hot Records label. The band has toured both America and Europe extensively, and released their ninth studio album, Beyond Respect on 19 July 2004. In 1985 the group's style was described as post-Radio Birdman sound which is "a combination of fast, guitar-driven, hard rock and power pop". In November 1987 Sounds magazine's Roger Holland described their album, Roman Beach Party as showing the group's "sawn off rock potential all the way down to the bleached white of the bone, the lyrics reveal all the anger, insight and humour that makes [them] one of the most powerful rock bands in the world today". In April 1994 The Celibate Rifles issued Spaceman in a Satin Suit which according to Australian rock music historian, Ian McFarlane "was [their] best studio album since Blind Ear". Lovelock has undertaken a solo career and issued two albums as well as becoming a TV sports presenter. A real good 12'' and a real distraction. The Rifles are represented on numerous compilations, no wonder with that awesome sound. Tipp!
