"For the first few songs at Singing Bird, nothing much happens. Tattooed drummer Danny Young chugs to life in lockstep with his brother, guitarist and bandleader Mikey. Bassist Brad Barry happily twists like a screw trying to find its groove as frontman Brendan Huntely, in his oversize shirt and trademark black golf gloves, scans the crowd looking for a spark."
"It sound goods like a fun garage rock band. Nothing special. The crowd nods. Then a few songs in, it starts to happen: an energy shift. The band does nothing different. There's no one song they play, no forced egging on; just a subtle recalibration. Suddenly the band are bouncing, people are hugging, Huntley has climbed into the rafters to sing, and I can't remember smiling so much at a gig."
On a Saturday night at Singing Bird Studios in Frankston a packed room awaited the return of Eddy Current Suppression Ring after a long headline hiatus since 2010. Earlier signs of comeback included a secret skate-shop set, a surprise single Swimming Hole, a new EP, and sold-out shows including The Night Cat and a free all-ages Federation Square performance. The early songs felt ordinary before a sudden communal energy shift transformed the room, with band members locking into groove and frontman Huntley climbing into the rafters. The group formed in 2003 at a vinyl pressing plant staff party and grew up in Frankston.
