First Post - Dirty Rock Mag review

Hi Guys - First post. Welcome aboard!!

Here's a recent review of the album from the Aussie mag - Dirty Rock Magazine. Thanks!

This, Tonk's debut album, was recorded in 2006 with ARIA award nominated producer Phil McKellar, but it only seems that now that Sister Switchblade is doing the rounds, at least internationally, as the canberra natives look to break out beyond our borders.

Even though it's been available for some time, it's a stellar, timeless,
hook laden, Aussie rock hard album about loose women and fast times.

Capable of out and out rockers or slower, dramatic mid tempo melodies such as Libertine or Stay, Tonk's ballsy classic rock comes off best during party ode Looze yer load, or the v8 engine rev of single Redback. But perhaps it's the title track Sister Switchblade where the band are at their best. Flying vocals, big choruses, razor sharp guitar shreds and tonnes of brash, sleazy overtones combine for one of the best this album has to offer.

Rated 7/10
