Hailing from Melbourne, Punter's noise-driven sound is viscerally intense. They describe themselves as “a hardcore band described as a rock band,” and it’s hard not to fall in love with a statement like that. Several times on the album, bassist Bella Steel and drummer Nathan Revell provide backing vocals that add a melodic dimension and contrast to vocalist Nathan Burns’ rougher approach. Light and full of twists and turns, Punter is also a record of multiple emotions. Rage and depression are balanced by humour. The album's intro is an elevator music rendition of “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” topped with a burst of feedback.
