This ep was recorded by the very talented Damon Carrad in his home studios between Sydney and Newcastle. It was lovingly worked on by a bunch of my friends so a very big special thank you shall follow now:
Thank you to....

The Ladies, all the wonderful women I have met through Newcastle and the music scene I happen to have found myself in up here. The Pubs! for putting me on shows, some have been real weird, some have been a real blast.

I bought the physical copy of this demo, #2/50, the night before All Tomorrow's Shoeys. I bought it again almost two years later when Jen was in a bind. In between those purchases I bought it on vinyl from Craigos. What I'm trying to say is that I've bought this fucking thing three times now and I'd probably buy it again, so you know it's good, aye!

DO NOT TAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT LIGHTLY: I truly believe this is the greatest hardcore punk band since Black Flag. I honestly stick with that statement every time I recommend them to someone. It features some of the heaviest guitar coming from the punk scene in Melbourne. I love how raw this release is, I do like their second album (Bad Blood) more, it's a little more refined but still features that pure fucking energy this album has. Both incredible releases Leslie Bowden
