Exploding onto the music scene like an indie Batman, THE UNIVERSAL composes music that pensioners have been caught referring to as a “Racket’.

Evan Jones, Cameron Urquhart, Blair Hall and Isaac Bradbury are THE UNIVERSAL.

Their music features jangly, angular guitars, driving beats and an energetic lead vocalist who sounds like he’s had too many coffees on the morning of recording and has developed a stutter as a result.

The boys new single Sexual Intellectual recently had its first debut on triple j and is available online for free download at triple j unearthed and will be accompanied by video due for release on July 20.

SPINNING HALF are very proud to announce that THE UNIVERSAL will be heading out on their first national tour in August in support of their ep THRILL HOUSE which contains SEXUAL INTELLECTUAL due for release at the end of July.

THE UNIVERSAL are lucky to be added as a tour support on seven of THE JUNGLE GIANTS tour dates.
