With the intention to highlight the absurdity of today’s social structure, Brisbane five-piece, Obserd, blast-out musical madness.
Drawing inspiration from a long line of punk-rock heavyweights, Obserd features in-your-face vocals backed by two flaring guitars, a slapping double bass, and the beats of a double-kicking madman. Matty Obserd shares his favourite punk bands.
