Album Review: Nancy Vandal - Flogging A Dead Phoenix

Australia's premier ska punk rock'n'rollers are back with their first full-length since 1999. With song titles like Hot Pants Nation and King Kong Bundy's Ponzi Scheme, it's clear what we're in for; thankfully these veteran rockers have the musical chops to back up the laughs. At a click under 30 minutes, the record never outstays its welcome or lets you sit still. Crunchy riffs, booming sax and genuinely funny, irreverent lyrics drip from every pore on this record. Whether a fond farewell or welcome return, we're lucky to have this hard-arse rocker.
