Proving that UK and Ireland doesn't have a monopoly on post-punk, Australian five-piece Johnny Hunter come charging through on new single, 'Try As You May'.

Produced  Adrian Breakapear at A Sharp Recording Studios in Sydney and released last week, 'Try As You May' from its haunting opening chords to Nick Hutt's fine baritone vocal delivery and propulsive drumming, fills three minutes with a new wave/glam-pop coating, as the Sydney-based band show another example of their forthcoming debut EP, 'Early Trauma'.

The band have described the song as "a cry for something better, a call for mercy and an honest admission to the fear of perpetual loneliness once a chapter finally comes to an end, try as you may to escape your pain, but once the escapism fades the only thing to do is dance in the purgatory you find yourself in.”

This is one you want much more of.
