Australian punk veterans The Living End have just dropped one of this year’s greatest rock albums. Wunderbar —the bands’ eighth full-length effort— is a victory lap. The Living End are twenty years into their career and they’re still making some of the best rock music in Australia.
Frontman Chris Cheney has delved into the creative process behind the album “We have this great need to not sound tired (laughs) you know, it’s something we are aware of and you know it happens with rock and roll bands they just kind of get old and start slowing down and they get tired.
I just think that we’re very aware of how we sound and how we’re playing and the kind of music we want to make and we just don’t want to fall into that trap of getting old and lame then, so I feel like the songwriting for us is just stronger than ever.”
