about

Volume 1 of a 'Best of' package spanning the years 1988 - 2010.

Originally formed in Auckland, NZ in 1984 as a continuation of Tauranga NZ high school band 'John Peters Sings' (1979-84). Recordings prior to 1988 are of such shit quality we don't want to insult your limited patience expecting you to listen to any of them. These here songs were all recorded on 4 and 8-track in various lounges and bedrooms across Australia and New Zealand..

These songs originally came from the following albums:-
1989 - Psychoblues Maniac
1991 - Metal Standring
1992 - The Dawson Chair
1993 - Buttman's Xmas Cracker
1994 - Soiled
1996 - The Pisswand
2001 - Her Panties Brewed Hot Murder
2009 - The Vitamin
2010 - Zero Growth Protocol

about

Sphagnum Core Sydney, Australia

Radio jingles + indie rock

90% of this was written and recorded on the spot using a motley combination of decrepit instruments, drum machines and musicians.

The bands initial inspiration were the porn-video catalogues that kept arriving in our letterbox from Canberra each month - hence song titles like 'The Enema Marathon', and 'Teenage Sperm'.

Sydney via NZ and Melbourne.
