Sydney Rocks (Little known Australian Power Pop)

SLATERS - THE BIG BLACK BUG BLED BLACK BLOOD (1993)

Hailing from Sydney's southern suburbs, John Vittorio, Darren McNamara and Matt Allison were the Slaters. They played a mixture of energetic garage power pop with melody and fun. Matt Allison later joined Mickster (of Pyramidiacs fame), who was the drummer on some of the Slaters tracks, in the Finkers (with Michael Carpenter). Also noteworthy is the song "Stuff 'n' Junk" (produced by Rob Younger) which would be the title of The Pyramidiacs' anthology "Stuff 'n' Junk", some kind of a tribute to this underrated band the Slaters.
