BRAT FARRAR channel early Wipers and Husker Du on “Group”, their first full-band album

POST BY IDIOTEQ.com  EDIT

Brat Farrar started as one person and grew into four. That’s not the usual direction. Sam Agostino made the early records alone in a Melbourne bedroom, feeding everything through drum machines and programmed parts; five LPs, a pile of 45s and a long stretch of touring later, the project now operates as a four-piece.

Agostino (Digger and the Pussycats, Kamikaze Trio) writes and sings; Tim Wold (Brown Spirits, Kids of Zoo, Specimens) plays bass; Andy Porter (Blowers, Cakefight) handles synth; Daniel Dempster (The Sailors, Tiger By The Tail) is on drums.
