Dave G’s 'Teleprompter EP' - Teleprompter Review:

There are a lot of groups out there trying to mix that electronic sound with mashes of rock and punk, but by far the best Australian group doing it, are the lads from Queensland who simply go by the name Teleprompter. There self-titled debut EP shows the whole world just how good these guys really are.

The EP begins with the mellow ‘Dinobot’, that has some smooth from Mitch Exton but doesn’t really show what these guys are truly capable of doing. But then comes ‘Banshee’ a track so good that you can only really liken it to the legendary Joy Division.

The energy that comes from ‘Lung-Tied’ and ‘Lambrda’ is a real shock, and while Exton’s vocals really shine it is the punk intensity that really hits you. The remix of ‘Boxcutter’ then really shows the electronic side to Teleprompter, and by now you’ll be wanting to put this EP into your Top Ten albums of the year.

This is a stunning debut by Teleprompter and it’s scary to think how good these guys could become over the years. This self-titled EP is an amazing album that you’ll want to listen to over and over again.

RATING:- ***** (out of 5)
