Tuneage of the week: Police Force, Freakin’ Out the Squares

Brisbane’s Police Force (the band, not the agents of the state) are effortlessly cool. Underground rock and roll that actually sounds dangerous and audacious. Even their name lends them an air of mystery – it’s not exactly easily Googleable, just like the title of their first album, Police Force. Think of them as the spiritual successors of the legendary Nation of Ulysses. Get on board (Tenth Court).
