A belated Happy New Year to you all. It should come as no surprise that there are still some gems waiting to be heard from 2025. Equally unsurprising is that this one comes from Australia. I saw the video for \u2018Flippin\u2019 Stomp\u2019 by chance on YouTube recently, and this was enough to have me searching out the album, \u2018Introducing The Gnomes\u2019 online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above song is unashamedly 60s influenced, regardless of their penchant for mullets and moustaches. But there are even more Beatlish tunes on the album; \u2018I\u2019ll Be There\u2019 would almost be considered too close to The Rutles for comfort, were it not such a great song. The same can be said for the opening song, \u2018Better With You\u2019. And throughout this, their third long player, they show that, while their influences are blatant, their talent with a melody and their obvious love for what they do rises above kitsch. Not to mention their infectious energy, in a Monkees style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
