Freya And The Vikings – Eyeliner
Melbourne rock crew Freya and The Vikings aren’t here to play nice, and Eyeliner proves it. This is their second swing in the lead-up to a full-throttle 15-track album later this year, and it lands with grit under its nails and sweat on its collar. From the jump, Eyeliner punches hard.

It’s about the connective tissue, the fanzines, the tape trades, and most importantly, the compilations that bridge the gap between different scenes.
