The last few years has spawned more Aussie indie rock groups than ever before, and in a genre with such little variety, it's quite hard to pick a great indie band when they all sound the same. Brissie group Last Dinosaurs had a go earlier this year with In a Million Years, their debut LP. The album opens with one of the main singles, 'Zoom', which is an alright song, but after that, most of the songs just merge into one giant indie rock monster. All songs have that distinctive mellow guitar, tricky hi-hat rhythms and uninspired bass, along with vocals that offer a little variation from the everyday indie rock tracks. Some other stand outs include 'Andy' and, my favourite, 'I Can't Decide', which is a welcome change that goes into the heavier rock areas of music. When most songs sound not only like other songs on the album, but every other indie rock song in existence, it's just not quite there.
