GARAGE / ROCK / BLUES
“A towering inferno of 60′s retro soul-fire, they move on stage like the bastard children of Iggy Pop and Pete Townsend” Drum Media magazine
With a sound that is reminiscent of the latter period of The Velvet Underground, and a live show that captures all the energy, soul and charisma of The Stooges, Perth band The Novocaines are well and truly buzzing in all the right circles.
The music stems from a dangerous blend of crunchy Detroit rock through to English Punk and The Novocaines are at the cutting edge of the exploding rock revival that is happening all round the world.
With an average age under 20, The Novocaines are no strangers to the road. Their relentless national touring schedule has seen them coast to coast alongside The Vasco Era, British India and Ben Kweller (USA).
Their renowned stage antics have blown away both punters and reviewers alike. With a ferocious and unruly live set, their on stage communication brings a cohesiveness to their playing that is so tight it is almost psychic.
Charismatic front man Corey Marriott shape shifts effortlessly between sullen introspection and extreme energetic release. Brother and guitarist Jay Marriott merges Cream era Clapton with grunge guitar sounds, to create his own unique style.
The Novocaines rhythm section is where much of the band’s power lies. Bass player Steven Turnock switches between the flat-picking grooves inspired by the likes of John Entwhistle, and the fuzzed-out manic lead playing of Noel Redding. Eighteen year old Liam Young’s frenetic drumming has quickly grabbed the attention of live music reviewers across the country as he passionately rumbles around the drum kit.
With the growing industry interest in this young act, The Novocaines could well be the next band on the must see list at next summers festivals.
