School Damage A To X Black Vinyl Edition

To X is the second album by Melbourne DIY pop quartet School Damage (no relation
to the Canadian band of the same name). The new album focuses their simultaneously
sharp and wobbly DIY pop aesthetic, taking in the wooziness of Young Marble Giants,
the bite of Devo and the busy melodies of the Television Personalities. A To X comes
hot on the heels of School Damage's instantly loveable 2017 debut, which earned the
band raves from Brooklyn Vegan, Noisey and BBC6 among others. Formed as a
bedroom pop project for Carolyn Hawkins (Chook Race, Parsnip) and Jake Robertson
(Ausmuteants, Hierophants, Frowning Clouds), School Damage now include Jeff Raty on
drums and Dani Damage on bass. They have released cassettes and 7"s on various labels,
including a 7" for UK label Upset The Rhythm. They've played King Gizzard's festival
Gizzfest and shared stages with The Bats, Tropical Fuckstorm and NO ZU. About the
new album, Carolyn says: "A To X is about trying (and failing) to find patterns in the
overwhelming jumble of activities involved in being alive. We were going to call it In
Alphabetical Order but I guess we never quite made it to Z!"
