Tassie punks Hudson Cartel are pumping music out left, right, and centre; the bands latest EP will be out by the time you read this, and an album isn't far off. This second EP, Atmosphere, just six or so months after the last one (debut *The Inside Man). Frontman Matthew Burn may have this hands full in his day job as a social worker, but the now- trio are keen as a mustard.
