Aussie rockers BUDD have just released their first new music in sixteen years.
It's just one track which forms half of a joint 7" with fellow Aussies Smoke Witch, but as the title clearly states, it's a 'Banger'!
Originally formed in Brisbane in 1991 by singer/guitarist Jeremy Finlayson, across four albums the band have been through a whole raft of members - including one Gary Linaker! - sharing stages with the likes of Shellac, Fugazi, The Beastie Boys, Mudhoney and Iggy Pop. The current line-up finds him joined by Hoss drummer Cris Wilson and bassist Kerrie Hickin from such Melbourne notables as The Sunset Strip, Autohaze and Holocene.
Released through Desert Highways, 'Banger' is now available through Bandcamp along with various other gems from the Budd back catalogue.
