EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING
Formed in the front room of a vinyl pressing plant in Highett, ECSR have become one of Australia's most revered underground bands - without ever aiming for the spotlight. Since 2003 the four-piece has built a cult following for their raw, high-voltage sound - a stripped-back blend of garage rock, post-punk and proto-punk energy delivered with unmistakable DIY spirit.

Eddy Current Suppression Ring
Eddy Current Suppression Ring is a Melbourne-based Australian rock group which has risen to prominence in 2008.
The band formed in 2003 when several band members started jamming at the Christmas party at a vinyl pressing plant where they worked. They encouraged now-lead singer Brendan Suppression (real name Brendan Huntly) to ad-lib into a tape recorder. The subsequent tape prompted the band’s first recording, which produced a 7-inch single with A-side Get Up Morning.
The band's name derived from members recalling another employee at the pressing plant stating he had to fix the eddy current suppression ring - a copper ring around a transformer which subdues eddy currents.
The band's sound is said to have been influenced by bands such as The Troggs, The Standells, X and The Pagans. Reference has also been made to the band’s Australian delivery, both vocally and musically.
