Album Review: Screaming Maldini - And The Kookaburra Sings

When Indie pop is done well it can be fantastic, when it’s done badly, a waste of time. Screaming Maldini, Alcopop’s latest gems, are firmly in the former camp. They fall comfortably between Reverend and the Makers and Hard Fi, and on a number of occasions on the EP outshine both. What makes Screaming Maldini an infinitely more interesting prospect than the aforementioned heavyweights is that their EP, ‘And The Kookaburra Sings’, demonstrates variety. Every song is different, yet maintains enough similarity to ensure the band don’t come across as confused. ‘And The Kookaburra Sings’ is a thoroughly accomplished collection of music from a band that is destined for bigger things.
