DeBaser's review celebrates Bored! as a high-voltage Australian rock band from Geelong, lauding the twin-guitar assault of Dave Thomas and John Nolan. The Chunks compilation (double CD) is recommended for its 33 tracks and striking covers of Wipers and Pere Ubu. The review frames the band between pre-punk and hard rock influences.
