  • looch jessieJessie - Looch Lewis & The Press Gangsters (Stanley Records)

    Three minutes of surging, earwig pop rock that’s best taken with a wee dram of whiskey. Sydney's Looch Lewis qualifies for veteran status these days, and his side trip is drumming for country rockers Dave Favours & the Roadside Ashes. He's also played guitar for bush folk punks, Handsome Young Strangers.

    Like many drummers, there's a solo artist inside just waiting to bust out; if the single is an indication, the debut album's gonna be a goodie. "Jessie" urgently does its business and moves on. It's lyrically dark but the melody line and chorus mean it's made for broad radio airplay.

    Looch's strong vocal and six-string picking with fellow guitarist Tomson Sowonja is leavened by neat mandolin from Drizabone Dion Dixonthat adds something of a Celtic touch. Catchy as all get out so hit up your favourite streaming service or listen after the MORE button.
