STILL SINGLE

A space for thoughts on music and culture, as written by Doug Mosurock and a select handful of individuals. This is intended as a supplement to our regular feature Still Single, published on Dusted Magazine. Updates will run here more frequently, and may feature writing on music not covered in the column. Compact discs are still not accepted for review -- we have more than enough vinyl and the occasional cassette to worry about. Our Twitter feed keeps you apprised of reviews as they're published. It's kept locked and private, because with a name like @stillsingle, everyone thinks it's a dating site. Approvals happen whenever they happen.

Per Purpose – “Warburton” b/w “Business” 7” (Bedroom Suck)

Third record for this Brisbane trio, finding a way around the formal lesson in post-punk from their debut single and the wiry, tense ‘90s avant-thrash of their 12” from last year. Here they come off as a pop-punk band that wears their experience on the outside, akin to Jawbreaker at their most dynamic, but with vocals that do not engender the same sort of experience. There seems to be an effort this time around to focus and nail down the elements of melody that had eluded them in the past, and it seems like their recent history serves them well, as they learn how to hone their jagged technique and play it to a wider audience. Solid works from a group that seems to be in eternal transition. (http://www.bedroomsuckrecords.com)
