Trial Kennedy play the Annandale Hotel on Friday 25th of July with support from Light Noise.
The so-called ‘next big thing’ in Australian rock is oft-touted, but rarely delivered. So it’s unusual then, when you get an album in the post where every song leaps out and drags you in, where the song-
writing is so fresh, so honest, and so original for a change, but also where, for all its immediacy and accessibility, never sounds like some dumbed-down predictable play for high rotation. In the case of
Melbourne’s Trial Kennedy, I’m happy to put it all on the line and say unequivocally that New Manic Art is that album, and Trial Kennedy are that band.
