Shane’s Music Challenge: THE CHEVELLES – 1995 – Rollerball Candy
6.5/10

Sweet, addictive power pop from our own backyard, The Chevelle’s are Perth’s answer to Hoodoo Gurus (who had their formative years here, too), combining Sixties garage riffs with irresistible melodies.

Their second album, Rollerball Candy sees the broken-razor-blade riffs and ridiculously catchy tunes coming out in full force over 15 songs, specifically aimed to appeal to their burgeoning fanbases at home, and in Spain, where they still tour annually to this day.

Best bits: The perfect riffy pop candy of She’s Not Around and the Cheap Trick-y title track.
