HAMMERFISH - THINGS LOOK LARGER UNDERWATER (1995)
7 Song EP from this Australian foursome is a brash and loud but is at heart very much a pop band. Explosive take on "Bad Reputation" (the dB's song that was included on PPC own "Tributes or Not Tributes Vol 5) and all throughout the sparks fly in a fiery and loud alterna-rock sound, but with a solid pop sense of writing catchy songs kind of like The Posies (circa '96). The hooks are there and very real, enjoy this slab of hard to find Australian pop!. Hammerfish was also featured on the australian compilation "Pop On Top" (1996) covering the Todd Rundgren classic "Couldn't I Just Tell You". Ryan Ellsmore later joined The (australian) Scruffs (aka The Wake-Ups), Michael Carpenter and Mick O'Regan (Pyramidiacs) guests on this mini album.
