“An unnerving slab of ’90s-inspired garage-rock.” – The Fader
“Piercing extended vibrato guitar melody lines and sludgy bass-drums accompaniment create a feel comparable to Dinosaur Jr.’s early days. – NYC Deli Magazine
“A continuous broil of anxious defiance.” – Stereogum

New York-based indie-rock act, Navy Gangs, unveil new single ‘Housekeeping’, and announce debut album ‘Poach’, out Friday, June 1 via Dinosaur City Records and Modern Sky Entertainment (USA).
Described by lead singer, Matthew Tillwick as “an ode to [Sydney band] Big White“, Housekeeping was written following a fortnight of the bands touring together back in 2016.“The band had just spent a lot of time with Big White, and I was listening to them pretty much non-stop when they left the states. One day I started messing around with [Navy Gangs guitarist] Noah’s drum machine, and the song essentially wrote itself. It’s a very nostalgic song, and it being connected to Big White makes it an extra special song for me to play.” Says Tillwick.
Housekeeping recalls the feeling of revisiting a house or apartment you used to live in. “You’ve really made yourself at home”, Tillwick intones on the track.

In 2018 alone, the band has played slots at Austin’s SXSW (where Big White joined them onstage to perform Housekeeping) and toured the east coast of America with Father/Daughter’s Anna McLellan. June will see the band tour album, ‘Poach’, across the States, before a September tour of the record here in Australia.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
