The Offcutts love 70s bands, but they don’t sound like them. They started out as an electronic duo, but you wouldn’t guess it. Tommy’s written the scores for theatre productions, but he isn’t a musical navel-gazer. They’ve toured with George Clinton, but… Well, okay, they’ve got some great funk bass lines.

What Happened Don’t Lie is the debut album from a band who took the long way around. The Offcutts have been on top of it for years, from multiple residencies on the AIR charts and headlining sold out Falls Festivals to their radio saturating singles like ‘Break It Down (James Brown)’, but this album is a first in more ways than one. This is the sound of the new Offcutts: the band who’ve crossed genres and shrunk and swelled with members, to become the three-piece who’ve pulled it all back together into a filler-free pop record. This is the sound of a well learned band who’ve distilled everything they know into the album they always wanted to write.
