So many modern tracks suffer from being oversung, overproduced, and just plain overdone. So it’s refreshing to hear a track like “Warned” by Melbourne act Alex Watts & the Foreign Tongue.
This is really raw stuff, with dirty vocals and gritty instrumentation. There’s a little too much reverb in the guitars, but that only adds to the appeal. Rather than studio trickery, I’m hearing something that could have been produced in any garage. Or at least a garage that had a visit from the horn section of The Australian Ska Orchestra!
