The guilty pleasure of exploring secondhand charity shops will always tempt me away from the more important things I really should be doing. Unnaturally dark, smelling of moth balls and always manned by efficient volunteers giving their valuable time to a chosen worthy cause. Records, CD’s or retro clobber are my choice of purchase but I have been seen walking out of these back street establishments with a lava lamp under one arm and a string-less banjo under the other. Every so often I’m going to dedicate a few paragraphs to celebrate an album picked up for the measly cost of a can of coke, a small nod of acknowledgement to an artist`s hard labour – but hey, we do like freakin good music for hardly any cash!
Eternal Holiday was the third album release from Rocket Science, a fantastic mix of organ fuzzed Indie and straight talking Rock`N`Roll – I`m really puzzled how I missed it the first time. The Melbourne, Australia based band ripped it with the finest during the mid 2000`s. Prestigious festival slots at Reading and Leeds, sharing stages with The Libertines, Supergrass, Kings Of Leon and The Vines, i`m sure the sheer number of quality acts doing the rounds during this period had a severe impact on overall record sales and merchandising. Look at Maximo Park, The Hives, The Music and Jet, all playing guitar based Indie mayhem and all pretty much music history right now.
