Jebediah - Twenty (2015)

TWENTY! That was old when Jebediah first shambled on stage in their shorts and sneakers and blue hair and dimples and grins and smirks and started bouncing off the walls with their roaring riffs and soaring pop hooks and tore the lid off the Big Day Out and the Hottest 100 overnight.

It's impossible for an Australian of a certain vintage to imagine those late '90s summers without those delirious early Jebs singles — ‘Jerks of Attention’, ‘Leaving Home’, ‘Teflon’, ‘Harpoon’, ‘Animal’ — blasting out of every car radio and festival PA from Summersault to the Falls to Homebake.

Kevin Mitchell, Chris Daymond, Vanessa Thornton and Brett Mitchell were mostly teenagers when they set out: brothers and best mates from some far-flung Perth high school who'd accidentally stumbled into the first division of the global rock'n'roll perpetual and given it a cheeky kick up the arse while running rings around it with guitars in the air.

Twenty years later, of course... um, actually, nothing much has changed.
