Negative Gears

NEGATIVE GEARS return to Canberra with the launch of their debut full length LP MORALISER, released on STATIC SHOCK RECORDS and URGE RECORDS. Joining them are hometown heroes ASSASSINS 88 and Melbourne experimental group NPCEDE Live at the Polo.

"Five years on since their debut 12" EP, Sydney's NEGATIVE GEARS finally return with their first full length 'Moraliser'. Written, self-recorded and mixed by the band over the last five years in their shared studio in Marrickville, Sydney, the band took their time until everything was perfect and it shows with super-tight playing and songs that will be stuck in your head for days regardless of the downbeat subject matter. That's not to say that there is no self-awareness flowing through. The record is called Moraliser after all and sometimes it's easy to think you have all the answers before realising that you really don't. Moraliser is calculated commentary, cutting observations with a magnifying glass, filled with reflection and evisceration in equal parts. A record from the city about the current cultural zeitgeist, for those who hate both.
