If it's possible to bring a freshness to stale commercial rock and roll being stamped out of the mill, these boys are doing it. That the Screwtop Detonators have an eye and ear for rock'n'roll shall never be in question - especially if you cop a listen to the band's album 3,2,1 I'm Done. It's apparent from the opening rumbling rhythms of God Knows, replete with the type of pub rock nihilism that breathes within the finest of Australian rock'n'roll. It looks you square in the eye in the power pop meets speedway rock on See You Cryin', thumps you in the midriff in the album's stand out rock'n'roll track, Anvil, and slaps you down in the final track, Transparent. Add to that the Eastern Dark surf and turf edge of Be around, and the picture is just about complete.
