The Stroppies from Melbourne feature members of Dick Diver, Twerps, the Stevens, and Blank Statements, and their first release sounds exactly like a combination of all those bands, with lo-fi production and sparse instrumentation led by jangling guitars and vintage organ, and scrappy melodies and vocals shorn of any adornments. There are seven songs on their debut made for Flying Nun fans, Bats lovers, and Clean devotees, along with fans of their respective bands.
These are photos from concerts where The Stroppies played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
