Interism offer up tasty new fried Australian Alt grunge punk EP, '3 Piece Feed'

Caboolture’s merry men of alt rock, Interism have offered up their latest EP, ‘3 Piece Feed’ - three killer tracks of tasty, fried Australian alternative grunge punk, ready for consumption.

Interism have been purveyors of nostalgic alternative rock, particularly that with a 90s Australian alt tone, for some time, and ‘3 Piece Feed’ is an extension of their previous offerings (the single, ‘Honestly’, and the full length album, ‘Avondale St’). There’s nothing over-cooked in this sonic meal, stripping it back to guitar(s), drums, bass and vocals. It’s pure volume, sweat and good ol’ mosh-ready grunge-y punk rock in the vein of Bodyjar, NOFX, and Gyroscope.

Opening track, ‘A Sheep for the Wolves’ starts with a potential singalong, before melding in to a Millencolin punk shuffle. ‘Shit Tonne of Blow’ is face-melting skate punk that delivers a gut punch, before slamming the breaks in to a sly groove, which is short-lived and straight back in to top gear. Finishing off the EP, ‘The Art of Saving Face’ comes across as a little more earlier Something For Kate inspired alt ballad, which is reminiscent of one of Interism’s earlier tracks, ‘World on Fire’ - all moody, before delivering a big finish.

The three guys from Caboolture are a criminally under-rated band in this genre, and have continued their trend of releasing well-thought out, simplified Australian Alt Rock with this EP.

‘3 Piece Feed’ is finger-lickin’ good, and is available for streaming on digital platforms now.
