press club – endless motion

Press Club has something special about them. The Australian band, invigorate on this release, an album, solid in its foundations, and lyrically it’s a wonder. Endless Motion takes rock music and fits it with new hooks, triumphant moments, which are memorable and thought-provoking. Not everything is happy though, as rage and love collide, as the lyrics entail imperfect scenes.

It’s a smash hit this album though, a plethora of good, honest, songs. Tracks which describe being broke and on the breadline, being pessimistic when optimism has no space to grow. Lead singer Natalie Foster sneers on every song, battling her own demons, climbing the walls when she feels broken-hearted.

Endless Motion has been produced with care, even though it sounds abrasive at times, and a  little unconventional, but Press Club knows they’ve got the power to play songs that are candid, and progressive, with fuzzed up guitars and adrenaline. Pushing through, they have the skill, the attitude, the punk aura, to connect to the music and make it as good as it can be.

Eugene starts the record off in a fuzzed-up fashion. Guitars are breakneck, and the vocals are subtle until they rise to a almighty level. Foster sings with pride, and she orchestrates those lyrics with vigour. It’s a fine opening. Glasgow is a standout, an homage to a great city that creates talented bands as well. The instrumentals are thrilling, and lyrically the story becomes so much more. Lifelines opens slowly with well-crafted bass lines and Foster’s brooding vocals. The chorus confirms the band’s dismay.

I Can Change begins differently, showing less grit and more melody. It’s still loud, but there’s more of a softness to this, a subtle edge. Less These Days lifts the album up again, and it’s a thrilling track full of rawness and punch, though it delivers passion and sadness in equal measure.

Press Club has made a record brimming in hooks and compassion, sincerity and it’s admirable.
