Self-classified as sex-pop, Canberra's Fun Machine make no secret of their influences. If Machine Gun Fellatio got you hot under the collar, Fun Machine's Bodies On is essential listening. The band's debut album is a high-energy offering full of colour, spunk and surprises. You'll find everything from cowbells and rock riffs to honky tonk and Nintendo-inspired synth. Standout tracks include Naked Bodies, the video game-inspired In The Jungle, and the single Ready for the Fight. Well-produced, inventive and fun, the only problem with Bodies On is you may desire to see the band perform it live; you won't be able to satisfy that need until their local album launch on March 29.
