NEGATIVE GEARS - MORALISER LP
Five years on since their debut 12" EP, Sydney's NEGATIVE GEARS finally return with their first full length 'Moraliser'. Taking cues from heavyweights like Crisis, Units, Siekiera, and Rikk Agnew era Adolescents with underground Australian punk sensibilities. Written, self-recorded and mixed by the band over the last five years in their shared studio in Marrickville, Sydney, the band took their time until everything was perfect and it shows with super-tight playing and songs that will be stuck in your head for days regardless of the downbeat subject matter:

"A lot of the record is about gross things that exist in this city, gross attitudes, selfishness, obsession with wealth and status, ignorance for anything outside of Sydney. It’s an abhorrently un-altruistic place. This shit hole wants to be America and it brings the worst out in people but also the best, the underground communities are stronger and tighter because the divide between the two is so vast."

That's not to say that there is no self-awareness flowing through. The record is called Moraliser after all and sometimes it's easy to think you have all the answers before realising that you really don't. Moraliser is calculated commentary, cutting observations with a magnifying glass, filled with reflection and evisceration in equal parts. A record from the city about the current cultural zeitgeist, for those who hate both.
