There’s just no point in ignoring the success of Aussie hard-hitting rock newcomers, The Unknowns. Their latest album, Blasphemy in the City managed to reach peak position for the third time in the Australian Rock Album Chart last November. Blasphemy in the City is a complete crunch-pot of wonderful, fuzzy, punk-pop combined with electro-like grooves, and heavy thrash/death metal riffs. Listening to tracks like Letters to the World and Lost Song is like being thumped in the stomach really hard, in a good way. Like most of the Unknowns greats, a soft, gentle intro is suddenly overthrown with an enormous amount of chaos set to make your head spin around and around, and then ache profusely. Samples seem to appear and disappear, vocals rattle ear bones and heavy distorted razor riffs meet choppy electro sounds.The group is said to be performing at this years Sledge Festival in Edinburgh, although negative-sounding rumours and cancellation fears are widespread. Blasphemy in the City will probably be in stores next month.
