One rarely hears the term "demo tape" in this day and age. In a digital world, the distinction between an official release and a demo might not even need to exist. But I have many fond memories of coming across bands' demo tapes over the years and realizing I was getting in on the ground floor of something special. Such is the case with Sydney-based trio Itchy & The Nits. Their sold-out demo tape is available digitally from the Warttmann Inc. Bandcamp page, and it's one of the most exciting things I've heard in quite a while. Bethany, Eva, and Cin dish out seven tracks of catchy & exuberant garage punk that falls somewhere between a punkier Nikki and the Corvettes and the budget sounds of early Donnas and Bobbyteens. Clocking in at less than ten minutes, this demo/EP is a delightful romp with hooks galore and attitude for days. If this band doesn't put a smile on your face, there is literally no hope for you.
