Press Club - Wasted Energy

When Melbourne punks Press Club released their debut album Late Teens, it was received as a cacophonous battle-cry, resonating with fans far beyond their native Australia.

Today, the band announce their anticipated follow-up album, Wasted Energy, along with new single Thinking About You.

Mean Jeans - Gigantic Sike

Since their recent foray into the world of brand marketing, Mean Jeans have been living the life: chugging Mountain Dew, scarfing Totino’s, auditioning for the next Bill & Ted’s excellent adventure, and generally keeping it real.

Lucky for us, they found the time to bang out a new album, and it’s a ripper! Mean Jean’s stellar new full-length, Gigantic Sike, hits the streets on August 30th. The first single, “Party Line,” is meant to be cranked up with the top down.

An endorsement from the party captain himself, Billy Jeans:
