Unity Floors, “Womens Golf” 7 inch
published on 21st December, 2011

Sydney’s Unity Floors write music with an usurping urgency that undulates underneath a writhing current of rollicking drums and gritty guitar. These two lads will be one of the bands to keep your ears peeled for next year if their latest 7” Womens Golf is anything to go by.

Their sound is of the stripped-back garage variety, which is another way of saying no bullshit or ‘production values’. 7” opener ‘Boil The Ocean’ is a good example of this, with Gus’s voice riding high and dry over the chunky percussion and wild six-string axe. ‘Nobody Home’ offers more of the same but with more pace and intensity. ‘Identity Theft’ has a vibe that sits somewhere between Robert Foster and Fugazi; soaring vocals alongside a guitar and drum kit ready to bolt out of the speakers.

I can already hear the voice in my head saying “more please!” Not only will 2012 be the Year of the Dragon but it may also very well be the year of Unity Floors.
