Made up of four talented West Australian musicians, Ben Protasiewicz - Vocals & Guitar Ashby Ranson - Vocals & Guitar Jamie Gallacher - Drums Andrew Meredith - Bass & Vocals. Pat Chow is a pretty cool punk, alt-rock, grunge band from Perth. Overwhelming care is the bands second full length album and demonstrates a promising look into a pixies-esc face for Perth. solid album.
Also i really really love this album art. I like that it's literally just this cooky flower pot or something, that is just so perfect at the angle the photo has been taken from. The filter/effects on the image left me thinking it was painted for the longest time. GOOD STUFF!
I first found Pat Chow and their October 2018 release when i was sifting through local releases for Perth on Bandcamp. That was while I was at tafe and had only just begun to look into what the local scene had to offer. Honestly I think i remember listening to \"Make it Hard\" and single, \"No strings\" and really not liking it. But man that album cover really stuck with me, not to mention the bands name Pat Chow!
So of course some time had passed and i had all but forgotten about the album. That was until RTRfm's radiothon came around. I had been holding off on buying a subscription for at least a week. When during one of the instant prize announcements they mentioned a Pat Chow vinyl and shirt! So not really remembering what the band or specifically album sounded like, i called up and it was all mine! I sat on it for the weekend before i got a chance to swing by the RTR studio and pick up my prize. I actually didn't even know if the shirt would fit me, so it was a nice surprise to see it did. Anyway yeah! i got it and instantly recalled the album and here we are! Coming back to the album enjoying punk a lot more i don't mind it at all, it just feels a little all over the place. Maybe i'm alone here, but we'll see. Give me your thoughts!
