 2 piece female fronted band (looking for female bassist) from Melbourne and been going for 5 years. 
This track is off their 4th and recently released EP "Splat" which was produced by Brian Canham of Pseudo Echo.
Splat is available on Itunes in the UK and Europe and CD baby.

 “Splat” is four tracks of dirty, melodic grunge-influenced power-pop"

And what she said about Johnny Rock and the Limits;

"Johnny Rock and the Limits

5 piece outfit situated in Melbourne City.  They have 2 drummers! At the same time!
Their Extended EP “Finally Famous” was launched in November 07
Upcoming Gigs

Sounds like QUOTE
“Like licking Franz Ferdinand, drinking David Bowie and sucking on a slice of Dandy Warhol's. Then Dancing to Supergrass while pashing The Killers. ...Oh and..uh.. The Beatles.”
 
This track is called “Million Times” off their latest EP “Finally Famous”"

 

I think it went WELL!
