Mini Skirt - DIY Nightmare

  

  You know the phrase a match made in heaven? It can definitely be used when talking about this union of Aussie punk heavyweights. Both Mini Skirt (from Byron Bay) and C.O.F.F.I.N (from Sydney) have featured on here previously and both are bloody brilliant. Brilliant alone, and as their new split release proves, equally as brilliant in collaboration.                                              https://www.facebook.com/miniskirt666/                                         https://www.facebook.com/coffin.aus

  The ep features a couple of tracks from each band, it's available now on a split 7" (500 copies but as of writing this very few remaining) and you can find it streaming here :                                        https://coffin-aus.bandcamp.com/album/c-o-f-f-i-n-mini-skirt 

  The CO.F.F.I.N (Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway) songs rock like fuck (but what else would you expect, these guys are masters of this kind of thing) whilst Mini Skirt offer up possibly my favourite music by them so far (no mean feat!). 

  I'm going to play a track by each band on the Just Some Punk Songs show later today (https://www.facebook.com/events/4970382709644621/) but for the blog I'm highlighting a song by Mini Skirt which has firmly lodged itself inside my brain. It reminds me of powerful 80's UK anarchic post punk, it's naggingly addictive, it's called DIY Nightmare... 

Mini Skirt - Pretty

  Mini Skirt (https://www.facebook.com/miniskirt666/) are 4 blokes from Byron Bay, Australia, who play an invigorating brand of punked up pub rock. They announced themselves with a demo called Mate in 2016 and since then have released a number of impressive singles/eps and a split 7" with fellow countrymen Cosmic Psychos. The most recent of those releases is a new single called Pretty. You can find it here :   https://miniskirt666.bandcamp.com/

  Recorded by Owen Penglis, assisted by Mitch Parry and mixed & mastered by Mikey Young (a guy who's been responsible for making many of the bands who appear on here sound great, check out his credits https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mikey-young-mn0002568924/credits), the new single is a definite winner. An eruption of rage, blood vessels straining in singer on vocalist Jacob Boylan's neck as he reveals he's sick of it all. Give the whip to the whistleblower, get your facts from the phone.... It's all angst and frustration, Jacob's feeling like a stranger in the place that made him who he is.

  Pretty.....
