They have released four studio albums, Eddy Current Suppression Ring (October 2006), Primary Colours (May 2008), Rush to Relax (February 2010) and All in Good Time (December 2019).
Eddy Current Suppression Ring (ECSR) formed in late 2003 in Melbourne when two brothers Daniel Gordon Young p.k.a.
[2][3] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, observed they are a "new breed of no-frills garage punk groups that played by their own rules.
"[7] During 2004 they began to attract a loyal fan-base at venues Pony, Town Hall Hotel, The Espy and Streetparty nights held at One Six One and the Stage.
"[9] While its B-side, "So Many Things", which was recorded by the three-piece line-up (before Solid joined), is "a mostly spoken, bile-infused poison pen to an ex-lover and it brims with fuzz.
"[9] "It's All Square" (2005) is the group's second single,[2] which Lachie of Youth Central declared was "a punky blast that features an insanely catchy refrain... this is one band which you don't mind having stuck in your head.
[10][12] It received critical acclaim:[13][14] AllMusic's Mark Deming noticed, "[it's] dominated by tough, hooky tunes, no-frills musicianship, and Brendan's broad Australian accent"[5] while his associate Rick Anderson rated it as three-and-a-half stars out-of-five, "The world can always use another blast of clattery, rusty-razor-edged, two-chords-is-plenty-thank-you punk rock.
[21] Deming writes, "[it] became an unexpected crossover success", while his associate K. Ross Hoffman rated it as four-out-of-five stars, "[they] tap in to the primal, fun-loving energy of frill-free rock & roll, a spirit that feels every bit as immediate and relevant as it is familiar and timeless.
"[22] Also in May 2008 ECSR and fellow Melbourne band, UV Race (Tom Hardisty, Al Montfort, Georgia Rose, Daniel Stewart) performed a live set at Missing Link Records' local store, which was released by July as a split album on a music cassette, Live at Missing Link, via Aarght Records/Stained Circles.
[2][30] Mikey (Eddy) and Huntley (Suppression) spoke with Triple J's Zan Rowe about their recording session: they used a double-booked rehearsal space for six hours at zero cost.
[31] They explained that song writing and preparation occurred before entering the studio and post-production mixing at Mikey's home was minimal.
[33] Nate Knaebel of AllMusic scored it at four-out-of-five, "unexpectedly loose, protean feel of Rush to Relax makes for a wholly satisfying step forward from one of Australia's finest bands.
[38] Mikey Cahill of The Herald Sun caught their performance, "[they] are the finest, fiercest garage rock band in the world — equally dumb and smart.
"[40] ECSR resumed jamming in 2018 and decided they would start writing material for their fourth studio album, All in Good Time, which was released in December 2019 on Castle Face Records.
[42] Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave it four-out-of-five stars, "classic thudding ECSR-style punk served up with jagged guitar riffs, sneering vocals, and tons of wire-sharp energy.
[2] Andy Tighe of RTRFM 92.1 felt, "[its] well structured and cleverly crafted collective of tracks, but a poor production... as though it was written and recorded during the too much treble portion of the early 70's.
[2] Mess+Noise's Patrick Emery declared them, "best band in the world" and explained that they "got everything: post-punk electronica, dirty-arse surf rock, elegant garage pop and everything in between.
Max Crumbs (Agents of Abhorrence's drummer, Catcall's producer),[46] which released an eponymous six-track extended play in June 2009 via Stained Circles.
[2][47] ThreeThousand's Samantha Chater felt it was, "crust punks making disco," which "sounds like the best thing to hit Melbourne dancefloors.
[2][48][49] AllMusic's Fred Thomas noted that Henge Beat provided, "an amalgamation of the various cold styles that wove through their previous singles.
