Born in a dorm room and named after a Melbourne Cup winner, media puzzle is Tom’s sonic speedrun through egg punk, synth slap, and post-ironic sincerity.

From the DIY days of The Hanger and The Waiting Room to three full-length records and countless shows, Tape/Off have become elder statesmen of Brisbane’s underground — if such a thing exists. Their latest album ‘Fort Sensible’ is a product of their years together: brash and intelligent, restrained and emotional, political without posturing, and fiercely rooted in the strange, specific urban sprawl of Brisbane.
