Australia’s The Poor To Take New Album ‘High Price Deed’ To Europe

The Poor’s European fans will be treated to the band’s first new music in 13 years with dates starting later this month in Spain and continuing through-out all of March across Europe.

‘High Price Deed’, through Scot Crawford’s Reckless Records label, comes 13 years since ‘Round 1’ (2009) and ‘Round 2’ (2010) and those albums came 15 years after the debut ‘Who Cares’ in 1994.

The Poor started out in Darwin in 1986. They have toured with AC/DC, KISS, Van Halen and The Scorpions.

The Poor features founding members Anthony ‘Skenie’ Skene and Matt Whitby. Skenie said, “We had many ideas for the album name that we threw around but none of them really stuck. ‘High Price Deed’ is a line out of ‘Love Shot’ and when it was mentioned we all just loved it”.

‘High Price Deed’ was created to sound like the band live. “We did it our way and really didn’t settle for anything less than our sound, while also experimenting in the studio,” he said.
