Let’s stay with the overused descriptors – I think R.M.F.C. is rock music band, more specifically a post-punk band. Indulge me. If you could say anything about post-punk, it means post-\u003cstrong\u003eWire\u003c\/strong\u003e, who were past punk before punk had an opportunity to codify and become everything brilliant and stupid that we’ve spent 40 years unpacking. Wire’s opening \u003cem\u003ePink Flag\u003c\/em\u003e jab – \u003cem\u003eChairs Missing\u003c\/em\u003e straight – and \u003cem\u003e154\u003c\/em\u003e hook knockout has haunted the mixing desks of ambitious post-punk bands since, and every major city in the western world has at least one Pink Flag band, one Chairs Missing band, one 154 band. Few bands manage to sound like all 3 records, but R.M.F.C. are a Rock Music Fan Club...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone paying attention to underground Australian guitar overdose would relate: the R.M.F.C. \u003cem\u003eClub Hits\u003c\/em\u003e LP has been the culmination of five years of work, patience and discipline. If you’ve heard these songs live at any of their shows over the past couple of years you’ll understand – the wait is over and the result is exhilarating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Bands like \u003cstrong\u003eDevo\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Fall\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eThe Birthday Party\u003c\/strong\u003e have set the way for this type of post-punk rock (all in their own way). Surely, also, the rock scenes of the past fifteen years in Australia have also been influential. Thinking of bands like \u003cstrong\u003eRoyal Headache\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDick Diver\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eEddy Current Suppression Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e, there’s even been a fairly recent tradition of expanding styles of rock and roll (let alone the bigger, famous rock-centered acts). The Sydney based R.M.F.C., and the scene (or friend circle) from which it’s emerging, is carrying a torch of rock music which has the potential of a wider appeal.’ - POST-TRASH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten, recorded and mixed by Buz in Burrill Lake and Sydney between January 2022 \u0026amp; April 2023.
