St. Anger

Private Function's St. Anger is a raw, high-energy punk album from Melbourne's most raucous live act. Led by vocalist Chris Penney and featuring guitarists Joey Hanson and Peter Russo, drummer Aidan McDonald, and bassist Joe Menell, the band delivers 13 tracks of authentic punk energy with an Australian edge. From the opening bellows of "White Lady Funerals" to the chaotic one-and-a-half-minute assault of "Assassinate (and TINPOTS)," St. Anger captures sharp riffs, hammering drums, and in-your-face lyrics. With an early AFI-influenced tone and relentless rhythm, this album proves Private Function are a force to be reckoned with.
