The Chordites: Taking A Ride
<p><span><span><span>- Veteran Brisbane rockers The Chordites know their rock’n’roll. Although The Chordites have only been about for three years, the band’s members have done time in outfits that local folks may recognise: </span><strong>The Daisygrinders</strong><span>, </span><strong>Subsonic Barflies </strong><span>and </span><strong>Death Of A Nun</strong><span> for instance.

This record showed the band’s gift for charismatic indie pop that adeptly combined C86-esque jangle, serrated choppy riffs a la The Fall and a strikingly percussive element that had parallels with post-punk funk outfits like A Certain Ratio.
