about
This split 7" is a brainchild of Mark Spinks from Gravel Samwidge, throwing back to his time spent in Sydney during the late 80’s / early 90’s where Mark would catch bands from the Black Eye Record label like Lubricated Goat, Tex Perkins Butcher Shop, Munroe’s Fur, King Snake Roost and Kim Salmon & The Surrealists.
Mark spent time convincing Stu Spasm and Skeleton Boy who have currently spawned New York Noise Rock outfit The Art Gray Noizz Quintet to join forces for a split 7” Single.
Spasm notes: “I wrote the music, but not the lyrics in 1982, and even recorded an earlier version at that time as the b-side of a proposed single of the band calling itself Exhibit A. The lyrics have evolved over time to what I call 'lyric sampling'.” Skeleton adds: “We’re quite happy to help ruin international relations with the good men of Gravel Samwidge.”
Recorded hastily after a few takes, the masters were sent to Mikey Young who tidied them up for pressing. These tracks sound fooking killer. PLAY LOUD. The Noizz is real, and Gravel Samwidge will leave you with the right taste.
We’re super proud of this release. Enjoy these tracks as much as we have had putting this project together.

This is the sort of punk album 99% of US acts would give their left nut to put out!! And TR brings an outstanding melodic element and some cracking vocals and lyrics! What a great collection of tunes!!! Get this album up ya, and then pass it on to your gen Z kids, mates!!! Ralph Douglas

There is a darkness on this record that just envelops me, but in a way that feels like a warm hug. This is one of but a few albums I can put on when I am in a dark place or feeling low and it makes me feel alive, content, and happy again. My absolute favourite album of 1998 and for me, an actual lifesaver. ajayr76
Melodic post-grunge that eschews all of the negative connotations of that phrase and embraces all the positives: huge hooks, huge-r riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2023
