about

Pray TV's 1992 album was full of brooding melodic indie pop with nods to Joy Division, Husker Du, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. It came just at the time major label were sniffing around indie bands looking for the next big thing. Nominated for an Aussie ARIA award.

"..a devilishly clever and initially sombre opus in the Joy Division tradition" - Rolling Stone

"Absolutely thunderous guitar, Aftermath is a pretty marvellous song, alternately quietly powerful passages with more patches of rousing exhilarating axework" - Alternative Press 1994

"Pray TV comes out of nowhere with determined rock shaded by goth influence and big choruses that dwarf the last 10 years of US college rock" - New York Press 1993
