Though their songs are unerringly catchy, Melbourne based four-piece Fur Patrol are firm believers in the power of simplicity. Their song’s first approach is a grab of full bodied Rock n Roll - an equal sprinkling of post-grunge angst and pre-garage soul, introspective, lyrically cathartic and wrapped up in an instrumental blanket warm and inviting.
For a band that honed their craft in the live arena, Fur Patrol scrub up very nicely in the more structured confines of the recording studio - the powerful track listing on Collider is a testament to both their inherent sense of compositional dynamics and their full throttle approach to life, music and all that falls in between.
Spinning A Line debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Singles on 21 October 2001. It has been in the Top 40 Singles for three weeks with a highest position of #40. There are five songs by Fur Patrol in the Top 40 Singles with one reaching Number One.
