Seminal 90s Australian grunge rock band the ‘stoner rock’ riffs of Wolllongong's Tumbleweed inspired a whole generation of music lovers when they emerged in 1990.
Tumbleweed burst onto the scene in a huge way by gaining infamy courtesy of a national support slot to the one and only Australian tour by the legendary Nirvana back in 1992.
‘Sounds From The Other Side’ harks back to the classic Tumbleweed era in both sound and attitude, but it is clearly the work of a band that have learned plenty about their craft. For every trademark stomper like ‘Night Owl’ or ‘Mountain’, there's a song like ‘ESP’, a dizzying, psychedelic marvel. Then there's the gorgeous ‘Drop In The Ocean’, which “pretty much sums up everything I've ever wanted to say”, says Lewis.
