Songs by Sphagnum Core unless otherwise stated.
Tracks 1, 2, 5, 9, and 11 are covers and that's pretty lame...
1 is a Rose Tattoo song.
2 is a Pete Shelley song (the dude from The Buzzcocks).
5 is an Elvis song, though this version was done by John Cale.
9 is by Nena, the German new wave band.
11 is a version of Nirvana's 1991 break out hit 'Teen Spirit'.

12 is a 'sort of' cover. It was written by Bad Tony and Mark when he was.playing in Gravel Samwidge (they have their own version of 'Tell Mum' up on Bandcamp too - woohoo!!).

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.
