I saw this described as "pub rock meets jangle pop", and I think that's perfect! Favorite track: In the Morning.

marcello donadello So, Beat Happening and Go-Betweens had a wild night together, and these babies were born :O
Makes you wanna jump in that profile picture and smile at the camera with them: truly contagious, must be something in the water!
Greetings from all the lizards in Italy: they already love you (as I do)! Favorite track: The Day After New Year's Day.

about

Skink Tank are three mates who like lizards and playing music together. Their style is punchy, defiantly optimistic and full of life, as they explore the wimpy side of pub rock.

Their first EP “Skink Tank” is a catchy collection of tracks that wants you to feel like it’s okay not to feel okay, and that you can even have fun with it. It addresses the big issues in life, such as being a party pooper during New Year’s Eve celebrations, daydreaming in the workplace, trying not to become your Dad, and buying your veggies locally except for when you don’t. It was recorded in between lockdowns at a disused farm in Lancefield, not far from the ancient Wurundjeri greenstone quarry, Wil-im-ee Moor-ring (“axe-place”).

Lead single “Look at Me Now” is a waltzing defense of feeling unsuccessful at adult life. Their second single “Melbourne Water” is a jangly ode to bush crew work, and the sense of wonder found in unlikely places.

Thanks to the Vermont family for putting a roof over our heads during the recording sessions.
Thanks to Sarah McConnell for taking photos, doing design stuff and being a tireless board member at Skink Tank Industries.
Thanks to all our mates who come to our gigs and make us feel like massive rock stars on a Thursday night.
Thanks to Psychic Hysteria for putting out our EP!

Skink Tank conducts its business on the stolen Lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. Aboriginal communities continue to suffer under a system that dehumanises them, be it in the corridors of government, the boardrooms of companies, or around the BBQs on Invasion Day. We pay respect to elders past, present and future.

I'm so glad PP is getting some due and getting out there in the world and playing where others can find and also love them. Bouncy and punky with an edge and a humor that is properly edgy, not just gauche. Richard Weems
