Violent Soho have about as much in common with cult leader David Koresh as an echidna does with a banana, but their hugely anticipated new album Waco — named for the small Texas city that was the site of the Koresh-led Branch Davidian siege with the FBI in 1993 — is similarly dismissive as federal agents were of the idea of ‘restrained response’.

The brand-stonking-new array of crashing grunge riffs and revelatory singalong anthems — the type that, after one listen, feel like you’ve been listening to for years — are just the sort we’ve come to expect from Violent Soho. Waco is an album that blows any and all expectation out of the water, making for a fitting companion-piece to their breakthrough 2013 album, Hungry Ghost, which introduced a screamed ‘HELL FUCK YEAH!’ into common, everyday Australian parlance.
