Bench Press
Debut album from exciting new Melbourne post-punk outfit Bench Press.
Recorded and mixed over the summer of 2017 by Matt Chow and mastered by Mikey Young, Bench Press’s debut album straddles the sound of classic post-punk (a la Dischord / Touch & Go Records) and the gritty style of garage-rock that their hometown of Melbourne is well versed in. Ten tracks that emit that wonderful blend of youthful energy and warm sense of years gone by – when underground music was delivered with less frills and with more urgency.
Vocalist Jack Stavrakis muses, “lyrically this album is all about introspection – looking closely at yourself and being honest about your own situation in an attempt to better understand how you feel – to learn from this and to be the best you can be.”
