Last Dinosaurs - Back from the dead

[dew process : 2010]

Young Brisbane four-piece Last Dinosaurs are former band geeks whose ability to write hooks is uncanny - precocious even. The first song on their five track EP smugly titled Back From The Dead is “Honolulu”, a sunny infectious indie pop tune and a pleasure on the ears. The rest of the record moves from guitar-driven indie rock (“As Far As You’re Concerned”), rhythmically energetic electro-infused dancefloor tunes (“Saturn” – our favourite track) and melodic grooves (“Alps”). Amazingly every song is kind of a winner – if Foals, Friendly Fires, etc are your bands of choice. Who knows what kind of career longeveity a band like Last Dinosaurs will have in the crowded lounge room of indie-pop-post-punk-guitar-dance bands, but we would wager that serious radio time for these kids in the near future is a pretty safe bet. So: Last Dinosaurs? – No chance of extinction just yet.
