about

Much-feared band from early nineties Sydney finally releases terrifying recordings. Featuring Bill Bostle of King Snake Roost, Stuart Olsen of The Garbage and the Flowers, Zeb Olsen of Matrimony and Toby Van Leeuwen from The Blokes...

Drums are belted with cinderblock clamped arms, vocals screamed or crooned from rocky peak heights, guitars constrict, choke and dance headlessly. Half‘s sturdy playing energy and honest technicalities must have made the live room a sacred sound chamber, with strong effects able to eliminate conscious body sensations, to be replaced solely with potent rock and roll intensity!
