Staying in Australia today for the 4th appearance on Just Some Punk Songs from Melbourne 5 piece Clowns (https://www.facebook.com/clownsband). They formed in 2009 and have undergone a few line up changes down the years but currently feature Stevie Williams (vocals), Jake Laderman (drums), Jarrod Goon (guitar), Cam Rust (guitar) & Hanny Tilbrook (bass/vocals). Their most recent album, their 4th, was titled Nature/Nurture and it came out a couple of years ago and if you missed it you can check it out along with their previous releases here : https://clownsband.bandcamp.com/
They've now returned with a brand new single and it's their catchiest song yet (maybe being signed to Fat Wreck Chords has mellowed them slightly?). It's still a big and beefy sound but this time around there's a little less of the hardcore and psychedelic influences and a little more melody. Not to say that melody hasn't always been there (in my last review I was suggesting Nature/Nurture was going to take them to a whole new level https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/03/clowns-i-wanna-feel-again.html) but this time it's dialled right up. It's a song that thrills. It's a feel good rush and it benefits immensely from the utilisation of Hanny duetting on vocals with the always impressive Stevie (more of this please!).

It's called Does It Matter?
