Alright Already is the debut studio album by Australian garage duo, Polish Club. It was released on 30 March 2017 and peaked at number 19 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.

The album cover features the duo standing outside a Polish club in the Sydney suburb of Ashfield with the duo saying "It was already there, it was cheap and easy, we didn't have to choose a font."[2]

The album was supported with the Alright Already National Tour, commencing in May 2017.[3] The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2017.[4]

Reception

David James Young from The Brag Media said "Polish Club have been pushing their blend of vintage soul, garage rock and the dirty side of the blues for a few years now. In turn, their debut LP is equal parts concerted effort and impulsive release – one that's been a long time coming, so it charges out of the gates the second you press 'play'."

Dylan Marshall from The AU Review called it "a blistering debut album" saying "Polish Club have kept to their strengths and delivered an album that will without a doubt sound shit-hot in a live setting."

Music Feeds said "[Polish Club have] graced us with a highly original, daring release in Alright Already, which should be admired. Ultimately, this debut record is better than good. It's bloody great."[5]

Celeste Adams from "Impact Nottingham" said "Whilst not quite flawless, the electrifying soul-punk vibes across all fourteen tracks makes it a strong debut and a great addition to any summer playlist. "[6]
