A – Busted
“I’m so Busted. I’m Busted” (repeat) and then you say “Me, Oh, My!” (repeat)
It’s so simple. You can interpret this bubblin’ funky gem anyway you funkin’ please. It’s got a catchy hook, a hard-swinging groove, one of the baddest breakdowns you’ll hear in 2010 and then you get to sing-a-long, chant-style like an army of footballers. Funky footballers
B – Set Me Free
The PutBacks re-work the classic track from Ray Davies and The Kinks, “Set Me Free”. Re-work..? It’s a re-invention. The bass and drums drive this baby coast-to-coast, the organ and horns offer spurts of steam, releasing the heat as Tom Martin’s guitar simmers away that big chunk of melted butter. Now that’s a tasty ride.
“The PutBacks lay down a groove exactly how I want to hear it: With super-heavy authentic tones, attitude and feel…” – Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos/Lanu)
”Diamond Cutter is fresh — it’s cheesy enough to make white people dance but it’s not cheesy at all… it’s got the same kinda swinging feel as Tighten Up or Razor Blade, but still grooves hard like a JB/Pee Wee Ellis 45. Party starter! CAUTION: May induce white man’s overbite!” – Rex (Northside Records)
“If the JB’s had their own monorail, The Putbacks have a steam train that runs right from Australia directly to every record player in the world” – DJ Prestige
“The attention to detail and dedication to authenticity the Hope St Recordings kids practise has not gone un-noticed on these Home & hosed ears! I look forward to more output from the ol‘ Karate dojo – it’s a nourishing link in an exciting scene” – Steph Hughes, Triple J
