A shadowy co-mingling of forceful hooks and distortion ladened guitars makes the Perth Boorloo band's latest a proper alt-rock affair.

Pugnacious post-punk with unexpected melodies, bright guitars and bouncy rhythms jam out.

The seven-piece band delivers raucous and danceable Slits-esque punk rock songs with lyrics that touch on social and personal issues such as political conflict, mental health and love.

AnimaX dish out a set of righteous four-chord wonders with a mean streak that will always be to the tastes of a certain doomy subset of alt-rock fans.
