Media Puzzle is a mysterious figure in Lismore’s nightlife, named after the Irish horse that claimed victory in the 2002 Melbourne Cup (naturally). The band delivers a blistering mix of scuzzy, down-the-barrel Aussie egg-punk, that thrashes through its 90-second songs without a second wasted.
In just one year, Media Puzzle has released one EP and three albums, with the latest, Strategic Living, offering a tongue-in-cheek critique of Australia’s current political climate. Praised by Rage, Triple R, FBI Radio, and other national and international outlets, Media Puzzle has now released what may be their best release yet.
But there’s more! Why stop at one album when you can have two? Alongside Strategic Living, we’ve included their second album, A Brief History of Planets, Space and Shit, as the B-side, creating a double LP for a full-throttle listening experience just for you.
In addition to this release on heavy-weight, white vinyl, Media Puzzle has also made their music available on cassette via Brisbane's Grog Records, Nashville’s Knuckles On Stun, and Paris’s Idiotape Records, for those who love a retro touch.
‘Strategic Living // A Brief History of Planets, Space and Shit’ out now via Impressed Recordings.
