OMI

IN THE SPOTLIGHT ON JB HI-FI NOW

New Cold Chisel albums don't exactly drop from the heavens every other day – their last release was 2012's No Plans , which was their first in 14 years and peaked at #2 on the ARIA chart – but the band have just gifted fans The Perfect Crime , which was recorded over this and last year.
