Wiseacre

Raw and Raucous Rock'n'Roll with Horns

About Me


"This is a stiff competitor for Party Album of the Year... The songwriting is top-notch, the alternation between punk, ska, and brass breakouts is just right... Try sitting still during this record, I dare you... 4 STARS "
Time Off Magazine,
July 5 2006
"...a band like Wiseacre would never rest on their laurels and deliver a simpleton's ska-punk record, and their recent hiatus has been well spent, expanding their ska/rockabilly/punk-pop repertoire for the best. Enter Talking To Myself, its opening surf-safari guitar lick trailing into a dementia-noting chorus underscored by a longlost Hives riff Howlin' Pelle would be most jealous of. The band's beloved quirkiness and deft sense of fun is also punctuated heavily throughout Bingo Every Tuesday and Yeah You!, all adding to the idea that Step Up will take its place as one of Brisbane's best local releases by one of Brisbane's best local bands. One word: Awesome!"

Wiseacre have guitars, drums, bass and horns but then so does a bull in a music shop, so thats not saying much......
Set to the tempo of a drunken tap dancer and smacking of dirty old man cheek, Wiseacre's new full-length album "STEP UP" is out now thru Green / MGM distro or on iTunes.
PREVIOUS SHOWS: from Melbourne to Mackay, from Royal Crown Revue to RocknRoll Wrestling, from the Bosstones to Beerstock, from Marketday to Milton Bowl, from Hard-Ons to High Schools, from Powderfinger to The Mark of Cain, from the Punters Club to Teenage Fanclub, from ElvisFest to the Espy Hotel, from the Living End to the Lady Brisbane.....
Here's a funny clip we filmed in a couple of hours at the end of Movember '06 - thanks to Hell-of-a-Hat for doing it!
