Review - Bunt “Art Girl”
independent single/EP
Bunt are four guys from Sydney’s
inner-western suburbs with a simple underground-style 60s punk as their
vehicle. Their “Girl Art” EP (almost a
single with not even 12 minutes on) sets out fairly unobtrusively and pretty
much stays there.
The style of this release takes on a number
of shades: Shonen
Knife without the pop but with an edge; Ricaine, but not that
hard; 60s garage with simple riffs and a 90s attitude; Loud
Reed/Kirk (The Early Hours) Pohl
vocals; foot a-tappin head a-noddin ambience. Ugly Girls is the one standout track from these four.
Based on this recording, Bunt is not a band that
would incite a feverish obsession to seek out dates, and their gigs might be a
low-key small venue/crowd but hey! If there’s a market for that...HH¶
