After playing gigs since 2011, Melbourne's Tyrannamen released their self-titled debut album on Cool Death Records. That pressing sold out instantly so the edition presented here is a result of Static Shock Records keeping this instant classic in print. The album is just 23 minutes long but every minute is worth the admission price alone. The album starts with calling card "I Can't Read Your Mind" which is full of ramshackle, yet instantly catchy punk rock but with a soulful and rock 'n' roll underbelly. It sits somewhere between Alex Chilton, Royal Headache and Irish power pop kings, The Moondogs. Other highlights include the anthemic "You Should Leave Him" which starts like The Undertones "Get Over You" before heading into a straight up pounder with Nic Imfeld's raw but tuneful voice taking the song to pop heaven.
