CHAINGANG - ‘Get Off My Stage’

So if you were wondering after yesterday where the punk went from Pinky Tuscadero, it went straight into CHAINGANG which features feisty vocalist Hayley and Mike from PT. Taking the lead from the darker spectrum of ’70s punk, CHAINGANG straddle the line between indie and punk, much like their contemporaries Die! Die! Die! and Young and Restless, though they do it with a slight touch of morosity; almost Nick Cave in its darkness.

Live, Pinky Tuscadero soared mainly due to the impressive stage presence of Hayley, and I could probably guess CHAINGANG will have the same response as she’s a formidable figure live. Combine that with the rawness and bite of the boys behind her, and heads will roll and faces will melt when this four piece hits the stage for the first time in February.

    CHAINGANG may very well inspire me to start heading out to local gigs again.

    [...] CHAINGANG (written as loud as their music, suitable really) have kindly offered us something new from their demo sessions. ‘Cut Here’ is less acerbic than their debut offering, ‘Get Off My Stage’, and focuses more on melody and a post-punk rhythmic aesthetic. The thick, dirty bass is still there, rumbling along and driving ‘Cut Here’ forward. It’s more instantly catchy than ‘Get Off My Stage’ and harbours a more overt upbeat exterior. If you’re in Sydney this Friday, you can go nuts to this song when CHAINGANG support two Who the Hell faves, Catcall and Lions at your Door, at Q Bar. [...]
