It was in **Rhythms** magazines Top 10 Albums of the Year, and it spent more than a year on the **Australian Blues & Roots Airplay** chart, including multiple months at **#1**. ![Checkerboard Lounge](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/7468cc72c4dbd0d828cf87a0a/ images/d8e08a16-4f0e-0429-b17b-19c790bc6a00.jpg?resize=539%2C359&ssl=1) The new single is the first record to feature the band’s current line-up, which features monster muso **Zoë Frater** on bass alongside group founder **Carl Pannuzzo** on vocals and drums, **Shannon Bourne** on guitars and **Tim Neal** on Hammond Organ. While **Carl Pannuzzo** is revered as a vocalist (the late** Broderick Smith** once said Carl was the best soul singer in the country), the band wanted to highlight its instrumental prowess on the single with the catchy guitar-voiced groover **“ Uncivil Compliance”**. This also harkens back to when instrumentals were as common on 45s as vocal numbers. Even the sung flip side **“Rollercoaster”**, a fun shuffle penned by Pannuzzo and Bourne, features a cool bass solo by new ace bassist** Zoë Frater**. The whole band is front and centre on the record, operating as it does, like one organism pumping its rootsy goodness for feet and hearts to thump by.  **“Uncivil Compliance”/”Rollercoaster” will be released digitally and a strictly& nbsp;limited edition 7″ single via Cheersquad Records & Tapes on Thursday May 25, and the group will the single with a special matinee performance at the Brunswick Ballroom on Saturday May 27.** ![](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/7468cc72c4dbd0d828cf87a0a/images/08023626- 8f97-5b88-0ea5-a54643022f7e.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1) **CHECKERBOARD LOUNGE
