The problem with the overwhelming majority of non-underground Australian rock acts is that they sound like over-processed shit on record. Hold It Down, the first taste from Jonathon Boulet’s upcoming Gubba, sounds gnarly as fuck. Then it gets even gnarlier. It’s a panicked, all-out salvo, replete with cannonball-to-the-gut riffs. Huge enough to make the pisstake B-side PappaMoneyballz Shite Trap remix seem relatively sensible.
