Gung Ho
The duo's debut EP is a little bit '60s, a little bit punk and a whole lot catchy.
Overview
In their quest for the perfect pop song, Gung Ho's Michael McAlary (guitar/vocals) and Ollie Duncan (bass/vocals) aren't doing too badly so far. They've spent many an hour in bedrooms self-producing their debut EP, Anywhere Else. Frustrated by the limitations of professional studios, they decided to take matters into their own hands.
Their commitment to DIY is paying off. Over the past few weeks, Triple-J has had the EP's three singles, 'Twin Rays', 'Side by Side' and 'Stranger', on high rotation, and Gung Ho are on the eve of an extensive East Coast tour. All of this follows a highly charged 2012, which saw the duo support The Rubens, Bleeding Knees Club and DZ Deathrays, as well as win over the crowd at Peat's Ridge.
With its reverb-enriched harmonies, seriously dexterous bass lines and punk-tinged feel, Anywhere Else is immediately accessible but certainly not predictable.
