Trial Kennedy

The so-called ‘next big thing’ in Australian rock is oft-touted, but rarely delivered. So it’s unusual then, when you get an album in the post where every song leaps out and drags you in, where the song-writing is so fresh, so honest, and so original for a change. In the case of Melbourne’s Trial Kennedy, I’m happy to put it all on the line and say unequivocally that New Manic Art is that album, and Trial Kennedy are that band.

Produced by Atlanta-based uber-producer Nick Didia – a man whose show-reel sports the likes of Powderfinger, Audioslave, Incubus, Stone Temple Pilots, etc – New Manic Art is nothing short of a startling debut. An album wielding as much grunt as gravitas, it remains at heart, a bare-boned rock record. Avoiding the pitfalls of overproduction and bells’n’whistles of modern day technology, not a single note of Trial Kennedy’s album sounds sonically superfluous.
