It’s been almost three years since Ausmuteants gifted the world with new music, but now the Melbourne-based rabble-rousers are back with a particularly idiosyncratic new record. Ausmuteants … Presents The World In Handcuffs is the brainchild of guitarist Shaun Connor, a collection of tracks that explores the mind of an unhinged police officer.
Prolific Geelong crew Ausmuteants have returned to deliver another sample of their crooked outsider rabble. The band has linked up with German outfit PUFF to release a joint 7”, one side containing Ausmuteants’ brand of whirling hyperactive irreverence, while the second offers a dose of PUFF’s cacophonous sound that is undeniably gripping. It’s a pleasure to give you a taste in the form of the track ‘Horny World’ by Ausmuteants.
Australian punk malcontents Ausmuteants tore us a new one in 2016 with Band of the Future, an album that skewered taste-making institutions and musicians alike with quick-witted and agitated barbs. The band are ushering in the new year with a clip for the rapid-fire number ‘New Planet’, created for the band by Sean Mcanulty and Alex McLaren.
