Let’s cut a long story short. All Ords are a Canberra Hip Hop duo comprised of Stateovmind and Podbotiks. ‘For The First Time Never’ is a slice of some of the best work they produced from many years passed. Although clichéd it was definitely a ‘labour of love’, dating all the way back to their school days. These days the two find themselves at different stages of life, but this release was a goal they both set out to achieve many years ago.
Almost entirely self-produced ‘For The First Time Never’ is a fat drum kicking, snare-snapping odyssey with a hint of teenage bravado worked into some clever concepts. Although some of the songs and youth attitudes on this release may no longer resonate with the artists today, they thought it was important nevertheless to share their journey rather than let it gather dust and go untold.
