If you’re a fan of The Triffids, Whirlywirld, The Clean or any of the patently brilliant bands that emerged from Australia and New Zealand in the late ’70s and early ’80s (and if you have any discernible taste, you bloody well are) by way of the Flying Nun label, Salad Boys have come to transport you, by hot tub or DeLorean, to a lo-fi point in musical history when the FN logo on a slab of vinyl was the Good Housekeeping seal of approval for Pop/Rock aficionados. Salad Boys’ self-titled 2013 debut exudes a Chills-demos vibe, but that’s just hair-splitting; if you vote Flying Nun, this is your thing all day long.

You’ll Dig It If You Dig: The Velvet Underground if they’d been signed to Flying Nun. (BB)
