By A Thread

Formed in 2009, Luca Brasis melodic, hard-hitting and precise punk rock did not take long to translate to the mainland. The band cut their teeth playing lounge rooms floors and filthy pubs with noisy, heart-swelling passion. 2011 debut album Extended Family, produced in their hometown with the help of mates Nic White and local hero Lincoln Le Fevre, drew inspiration from the geeky, warm punk sound pioneered by Lifetime and Jawbreaker and melded it expertly with the fiery, riff-driven punk rock of acts like A Wilhelm Scream and Polar Bear Club.

The sound resonated strongly; scoring the band a spot in Triple Js Short Fast Loud midyear report and legions of admirers the nation over. 2013s follow up, the aptly named 7 release ‘Tassie’ further developed this sound and gained more ground, Kill Your Stereo proclaiming; Luca Brasi are doing some serious good for Australian punk music at the moment.

By A Thread highlights vocalist Tyler Richardsons everyman lyrical refrains and the signature highly skilled guitar work of Tom Busby. This second album pushes the signature Luca Brasi sound into more dynamic territory. Eleven songs of intelligent construction with an eye for quality and considered production, delivered with all the warmth you would expect from an album recorded in the company of friends, at home in Tassie. The record was mixed by US veteran Matt Bayles, whose production and mixing work can be heard on albums by Pearl Jam, Murder City Devils and, Isis and many more.
