WATCH: Perth punk racket Aborted Tortoise go full speed 'hypermarket' with new video "Violent Consumers"

New Noise Magazine

The new Aborted Tortoise song, “Violent Consumers,” out now on their Scale Model Subsistence Vendor album svia Goodbye Boozy Records, is the fast, nasty punk you need to get your weekend going.

You all grew up together before Aborted Tortoise was even a band; tell us a little something about each member?

“Connor [Lane; vocals] is The Tony Galati of cryptocurrency (WA reference—sorry). Charles [Wickham; guitar] is a reality TV addict/Coles Minis enthusiast. Tom [Milan; guitar] is a medical physicist/renaissance man. John [Peers; bass] is a rock pig/gamer and, I’m a subpar historian.

“All of us (except Connor) went to the same high school, so we were all more or less familiar with each other long before the band was a thing. Tom and I have known each other since pre-primary and have a long and vibrant history—I have vivid memories of playing AOE at his house in primary school, the one you used to get in Nutri-Grain boxes. We used to make mazes filled with various hazard like crocodiles and lions and force innocent villagers to escape.

“The four of us had a short-lived high school band which we fucked around with before starting Aborted Tortoise just after we graduated. We needed a vocalist, so we ended up recruiting Connor, who I’d known for a while through a wider group of friends who used to go skating.”
