Sure, bands like Parkway Drive were helping to pave the way, but before they hit the big time, it was their slightly older, South Australian cousins I Killed the Prom Queen who were finding success for their efforts.įormed in 2001, it wasn’t until their second album-2006’s Music for The Recently Deceased -that they saw the global acclaim they were deserving of. In Australia though, it wasn’t quite catching on just yet. Run Home Slow hit number two on the ARIA chart, under Ed Sheeran’s fourth album.įor a brief time in the mid-Noughties, it felt as though the metalcore genre might just be the way of the future, with the aggressive style becoming a massive global drawcard. As it turns out, despite the false start, the record wasn’t jinxed at all. From the first chorus of opener “Let Me Let You Down”, right through to the slow-dance of “That Bird”, the brothers and childhood friends traverse startlingly beautiful terrain. Indebtments to soul luminaries like Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin aside, the album swaggers with showmanship and precision.

Backed by the sharp and masterly efforts of a band born to weave southern gospel, soul, and R&B together, frontman Josh Teskey delivered a radiant vocal performance with as much grit as it has libidinous sensibilities. None of these hiccups are present on Run Home Slow. Holed up in Sam Teskey’s home studio, the band had a singer who couldn’t sing (Josh Teskey had temporarily lost his voice to a cold), a producer (Paul Butler) undergoing a divorce, and an analogue format tape machine that broke down on the first day. The recording for The Teskey Brothers’ second album kicked off with what can only be described as a snakebitten situation.
