DC Presents: media puzzle (Aus) / Second Born (Leeds) / Big Break (Sheffield)

MEDIA PUZZLE
Melbourne via Lismore, New South Wales' revved-up cartoon post-punks media puzzle hit Sheffield on their first ever UK tour. New album New Racehorse just dropped and it's receiving the acclaim it so richly deserves. Pitchfork gave it a skyscraping 8.0 if that means anything . Synthy-egg punk chaos with trumpet, jangle-pop hooks and songs that don't hang about too long. Think Devo a bit? "The only thing better than coming up with new ways to have fun is being invited to join in" - Pitchfork / "Fun, goofy, catchy-great late-summer set of tunes on offer." - MRR

Support comes Leeds-via-Birmingham's Second Born (think Island of Love, Ovlov, Teenage Fanclub) and from fellow synthy-egg-hardcore-punk-devo enthusiasts Big Break,
