After 35 years in the making, this is The Wreckery album that never was but
always should have been!
At the height of the Australian post punk era, Melbourne's The Wreckery built
a loyal audience by playing darkly atmospheric rock with film-noir swagger
and true renegade attitude. Their early Rampant Records releases (1985-87)
featured the band's inventive blend of swamp blues, noir-jazz, and deadpan
rock (see the Ruling Energy video!) However, creative differences caused the
band to disband just as they were hitting their pinnacle with the Laying Down
Law album (Citadel Records, 1988).
Now, "Fake is Forever" reignites The Wreckery's signature sound with an
unyielding fervour. Charles Todd's haunting baritone sax, Hugo Race's
scathing lyrics and mesmerizing vocals, Clayton-Jones's distorted angular
guitars, Robin Casinader's eclectic multi-instrumental prowess, and the rhythm
powerhouse of Nick Barker...
