The Australian quartet Skegss started their run as scruffy, sun-bleached goofs, cranking out catchy garage punk that owed a huge debt to countrymen like Hoodoo Gurus and the wilder sound of American acts like Ty Segall. Their prolific run of singles in the late 2010s led to a bracingly good debut album, 2018's My Own Mess, which dialed down some of the brattiness and noise as they began to mature a little. By the time of Rehearsal, the band had left the garage for good and set off for bigger, more polished territory. The record is glossy, punchy rock & roll that delivers the kind of singalong beach punk songs anyone might expect, while also taking a few surprising side trips that don't really pan out. At their best, the band balance dusty road trip-ready rockers like "Valhalla" and rip-roaring rave-ups like "Bush TV" with more tuneful tracks that jangle pleasantly and show a touch more maturity ("Fantasising," "Running from Nothing"). An entire album where they focused on their scrubbed-down and powered-up, but still plenty scrappy, sound would have gone down a treat. Unfortunately, about halfway through there's a shift away from their strengths. Instead of doling out more good rocking tunes, they tackle a seasick shanty about death and drinking ("Picturesque Moment"), a couple of introspective ballads ("Wake Up" and "Curse My Happiness"), a half-hearted grunge drudge ("Fade Away"), and a slice of funky jam rock ("Under the Thunder) that conjures up not very fond memories of the Spin Doctors. These detours are an admirable attempt to show growth and expand their musical horizons, which would be fine if the results didn't suck all the life out of the album. As the first half of the record proves, the band are still so good at being rock & roll knuckleheads with big hearts, they didn't really need to reach beyond their grasp. Chalk Rehearsal up as half a step in the right direction/half growing pains and hope they figure out the right equation next time around.
