Description:
The Temper Trap's first single ‘My Sun' was played to audible pulp. It was like every flippin' DJ in the country on radio and the floor was playing it and while it was popishly infectious for the first twenty plays, it got a little tired. But then the band went away. Then they returned and with them a new album featuring one little corker: ‘Sweet Disposition'.

St. Helens have songs that'll tear you up in both the misty-eyed and torn-to-shreds senses. Led by tough romantic, Jarrod Quarell - of Melbourne's best, now-defunct junk anthem outfit, New Season - this group numbers Ian Wadley and Spider Vomit's Hannah Brooks in its ranks, but most importantly plays a blinding set of Royal Trux-infused, balls-to-the-wall rock.
