Finally, it’s back! Last year we discovered a little-known Sydney outfit, Where’s Jerome, the project of Jeremy Smith, one-time frontman for indie outfit Altona. Soon after we posted about them, they were picked up by a small indie digital label called Rish Records and we were kindly asked to remove the MP3 (which was a demo of a song called ‘Rescue’), but promised that when the EP was released, we could post it again.

And true to their word, ‘Rescue’ returns to Whothehell.net! I had the whole band – Jeremy, Alex and Todd – on my radio show on Wednesday night, and they’re truly insane. But truckloads of fun. Their EP Dreamboat is a wonderful collection of electroacoustic pop tunes, refusing to stay put in one definable genre throughout the disc. They’re launching it this Saturday at Sydney’s Spectrum on Oxford St. If they’re anything like they are in a radio interview, it should be one crazy gig.
