Five Star Laundry, the 2001 debut from Melbourne's Motor Ace, arrived on Mushroom Records on 5 March that year and did what a first album is supposed to do: it put a young band in front of the whole country. The group had formed in 1998 out of the leftovers of an outfit called Snowblind, and the record wears its post-grunge inheritance proudly, all chunky, chiming guitars and choruses built for shouting back at a festival stage.
It won them an audience right across Australia, with the listeners of national youth broadcaster Triple J leading the charge, and it climbed to No. 4 on the ARIA Albums Chart. "Hey Driver" and "Death Defy" are the tracks that found their way onto the countdowns. Shoot This came next.
