Eddy Current Suppression Ring - Eddy Current Suppression Ring

Eddy Current Suppression Ring is the debut studio album by Australian garage punk band Eddy Current Suppression Ring, originally released in October 2006 via Dropkick Records.

In a world where indie pop music has gone murky and mopey, songs by garage bands are used to sell cars on TV, and real punk rock is in hiding, it's nice to find a band that didn't get the memo. Eddy Current Suppression Ring is four gents from the peninsula who worked together at Corduroy Records pressing plant in Melbourne. They formed after an impromptu jam at the office Christmas in 2004. Live practice tapes soon developed into sold-out singles and increasingly packed shows, and Eddy Current Suppression Ring grew into a uniquely sincere and simple band that creates increasingly indefinable music. Yes, there are discernible influences: The Stooges, Can, The Fall, Devo.

But they don't sound like any of those bands; or anyone else, for that matter. Their self-titled album is filled with all the elements that make an album great: razor-sharp guitar, rumbling bass, steady thumping drums, led lead singer Brendan Suppression's disarmingly honest vocals.

This album is a reissue on compact disc housed in a gatefold card digisleeve, pressed in Australia via Aarght Records.
