Two years on since their last EP, Melbourne surf-punks Sophisticated Dingo are back with How’s The Carry On!?, a familiar blast of their high-octane garage sound that’s energised by an omnipresent musical expansion. We caught up with vocalist/guitarist Lew Matte to get the run down on how the EP came together.
