SYDNEY — Heifer are a struggling independent band carving out a niche for themselves in the live pub rock scene that thrives in the outer western suburbs of Sydney out of the sight of inner-city music reviewers and radio programmers. Last year they had a great success on the independent charts and on Triple-J with their weird, swirling single "Mark Mark".

Go is their first release since "Mark Mark". The video goes with the single is of a live performance which allows armchair rockers to see just what a wild thrashing band can do to an audience (send them ballistic, that's what).

The four other tracks are in the amalgamated punk/rock/funk/metal style that Heifer has created for itself. Go is full of the cutting time structures the band loves. All in all, Heifer is part of the voice of the angry youth of western Sydney and is well worth listening to.
