Animal House - Domino




1.    Who are these heroes? 

Gaze on the majesty of Animal House a garage pop rock band from Brisbane, Australia. The men have a handful of singles to pin to their battle honors and Domino (Oct'16) is the second single from Animal House's first E.P. Sorry (Nov'16). 


2. What kind of magic are they weaving? 

Domino has lashes of old school sixties garage jammed to new century indie rock. The tunes a fucking banger and it hits the ground at speed. Straight-up-the-middle drums power along and their are all the harmonies and guitar every good boy could want. The chorus is as catchy as fuck. Perfection. 


3. Who do Animal House sound like? 

Drunk Mums, Twin Peaks, The Lulu Raes. 


4. What declarations of love have the press made in praise of Domino?

“Lyrical story-telling, racing riffs and infectious choruses” – A Badge Of Friendship.

“An infectious high energy blast of garage rock” – Gig Slutz.

“Lightning in a bottle” – Logic Fuzzy.





5. Which band have given Animal House a kick in the right direction?

The main Animal House influences are The Strokes, The Kings Of Leon and The Arctic Monkeys. 


6. Why should I listen to Domino?

Because you want to to dance and smile and have fun.


7. Do Animal House have any more spankers?

Figure It Out is the leader of the pack, Sour sounds like the Strokes if they actually had character and English Girls is another fun banger.


8. Any more words?

Animal House are currently based in Brighton, England, and recently supported BRONCHO.



“My friends are all dicking around outside,
Impressed by the press and the rest”








The Arctic Monkeys are a extremely successful English post-punk indie rock band from Sheffield, England. Formed in 2002 they have five albums in their catalogue. Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006) was the fastest selling debut album in U.K. history and all five albums went to number one in the U.K. and top ten worldwide. In the States they only managed top 20 but their last album A.M. (2013) was the most successful making it to number 6. The first two singles from The Arctic Monkey's first album went to number one but the third Fake Tales From San Francisco (2006) never charted. It's the Arctic Monkey's best song, a song Clash Music describe as an “untamed, organic and ferocious beauty.”

So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook”
