Album Review: Mick Medew - The Mesmerisers Shane

Brisbane legend Mick Medew's new album started off as a solo affair but he quickly assembled a new band to mine this entirely different milieu to the powerhouse melodic garage rock we're used to from The Screaming Tribesmen and The Rumours. He does bluesy swagger (Broken Hearted Blues), stripped back and contemplative (The Sin (You Should Have Told Me)), ballads (Falling Down Again, Bloodsucking A Small Town) and balls-out rock (Dream On The Slide) yet it all sits together seamlessly. A fascinating new front from a great talent.
