A beloved rock band from Melbourne, Australia, released its first official new music in more than three decades, timing it to come out shortly before the start of a special 40th anniversary tour.
The Huxton Creepers have finally come out with their first new recordings since 1990, with the double A-side single "Opposites Attract" and "Midnight TV." The single is available digitally and as a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl through Cheersquad Records & Tapes.
The new music is a reunion of original members Rob Craw, Matthew Eddy and Archie Law. Also joining is guitarist Julian Matthews of The Stems, who will be touring with the Huxton Creepers on the band's special 40th anniversary tour this summer.
Talking about what inspired the new songs, Craw said that "Opposites Attract" was an homage of sorts to the British Beat's song "Save It for Later." He said, "One of my favourite songs but in no way did I wish to just slavishly replicate it but rather just let it seep in as an almost subconscious driver."
As for "Midnight TV," Eddy shared that it was also inspired by another artist's song. In this case, it was the New York Dolls' "Lonely Planet Boy." Eddy explained that the original song's prominent riff "morphed into a sort of driving hypnotic rhythm" in the new Huxton Creepers' song.
