Hypertonic emerge, a new and exciting young band (average age of 16 years) from sydney that, are original and fresh; while defining a classic, new sound for themselves. Hypertonic are producing music which is far beyond their years. Citing as influences - sonic youth, pavement, television and the go-betweens - they manage to sound both raw and accomplished. Intricate duelling guitar lines, power-pop, stoner rock and symphonic noise, these songs are insistent, urgent, forceful and, that grand prize of songwriting, memorable.
