Helta Skelta - Beyond The Black Stump LP

Personally I'm very stoked about this release, the band was my first ever blogspot post since this blogs inception and somewhat of an influence in starting this blog, the band is doing a US tour next year, so rejoice with this contemporary Australian punk BANGER.

"Helta Skelta is the newest face of Australian punk - there I said it. Granted they already have an album and a few singles under their belt, Beyond the Black Stump sounds very different from previous outputs and believe this is the album people have been waiting for them to write. It's hands-down their strongest batch of songs, and the recording does them complete justice. The various elements of this album have always been there, swirling in the soup of varied influences and ideas these guys soak in, but this album smacks of a band getting its ducks in a row. In particular, Jon's vocals have mellowed from an earlier, more aggressive hardcore delivery into a brilliantly snarky, deadpan, sardonic drawl that draws easy comparison to EDDIE CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING or X. The guitars are tight, choppy and bright, the bass and drums pin the beat down with straightforward but rock-solid rhythms."

Helta Skelta - Asbestos EP

"It's been over a year since their debut LP was released but events have collided and this release has come into its own. It sees Helta Skelta moving in a slightly different direction but still keeping the aggression and catchiness of past work. Broadening influences a little and really working to put down something solid."

Helta Skelta - Self Titled LP (2012)

New full length LP from these Australian JOYBOYS. 
If you thought the Parasite EP was a teaser, then you are in for a treat. 
The band features member(s?) of EXTORTION but don't expect blast beats or anything of that kind from Helta Skelta.
