The Stroppies

Record of the week in my house is WHOOSH! by the Melbourne, Australia guitar pop band The Stroppies. Fabulous catchy, earnest jangle that recalls the Velvet Underground's third record with some melodies that bring to mind The Clean and prime Flying Nun Records/New Zealand pop of the 90s. Conceived at a kitchen table in 2016, The Stroppies are comprised of members of a host of members from other Aussie indie bands but WHOOSH! is their first full-length record and its been getting me through my daily commute (my car STILL has a CD player). If this ends up sounding good to you too, be sure to check out some other Aussie music in the Library's CD collection, things like Dick Diver, Goon Sax, and Robert Forster.
