Rapscallion, the sixth album from the Melbourne-based outfit The Murlocs, dabbles in strong doses of 60’s garage, psych, and prog rock throughout the twelve tripped-out tracks
Meet ‘Rapscallion’ – a nameless youth who runs away to the city (craftily dodging ticket inspectors along the way) and joins a crew of misfits. During his travels, Rapscallion gets his first, heady taste of crime, drugs and brawls, and eventually, love and tragedy.
