Perth’s FOAM announce tour, debut LP, new single
Prepare yourselves music lovers: Perth’s most recent musical secret is fleeing the land of FIFO employment and $5 lattes, destined to capture minds and hearts nation-wide. FOAM will release their debut album Coping Mechanisms on Friday 17th February, with a tour to follow.
Today, deliciously jarring new tune When Does It Get Better drops...
FOAM slot seamlessly into a textured landscape of really top notch Australian psychedelic, garage and alternative rock that is as supportive, dynamic and recalcitrant as ever. They display qualities of classic indie rock like Mclusky, Butthole Surfers and The Jesus Lizard and sonically reference legends of Australian rock like The Drones and even The Birthday Party. It’s a furious, ferocious, tireless sonic marriage. A relentless barrage. Booming and at times savage, there’s an undeniable ire in these discordant songs that is utterly magnetic.
Boasting song-titles as puzzling as I Could Milk Myself (which triple j’s Dave Ruby Howe gave a big thumbs up via Unearthed) and Eat Your Family, with Coping Mechanisms, all your desires for solid, challenging alternative rock will be satiated. First single Get On Board was premiered via Tone Deaf in September 2016, going on to pummel the airwaves thanks to RTR and 4ZZZ.
FOAM have claimed slots on the WA Big Day Out and Groovin’ the Moo line-ups and a WAMI nomination in the Best Video category. Get around them while they’re still a tightly held state secret. Yeah yeah, we hear you saying “but there’s a thousand bands mining 90’s influences these days!”. Quiet, you. FOAM are the one. Fresh and genuinely furious. See them on tour soon, making things as loud and jarring as possible.
Something in the water? You god damn bet.
