Description
A clipped snare fill right before Bowman’s chorus tips you off to Ultra Q’s sweet spot: nervy post-punk energy wrapped in bright, singable hooks. Get Yourself A Friend folds jittery guitars into glossy melody, the kind of set that flips from rush to release without losing its footing. It’s Permanent threads a bittersweet vocal through chiming leads, while Panic kicks like a basement show closer, taut and quick.
This red vinyl pressing opens up the space around the twin guitars, and the low end sits deeper, giving the rhythm section extra punch without mud. Sequencing breathes nicely across sides, so the dynamics feel intentional rather than piled on.
File it alongside the early-2000s post-punk revival; if you keep a single comparison, think The Strokes but with a scrappier, West Coast swing. Feels right at home in a Melbourne share house, soundtracking the clean-up after midnight with the volume just a notch too high.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Ultra Q records online with us. Jacket colours pop against the vivid red, and the overall package suits the band’s neon-night aesthetic. New listeners get an easy entry point, while longtime fans will appreciate how the riffs and choruses land a touch sharper here.
