Screaming Believers - Show Me Your Money EP

First release from this Adelaide band in 1981.  I'm attempting to give you all the Screaming Believers releases and have previously blogged their two LP's ('Refugees From The Love Generation' and 'Communist Mutants From Outer Space').  Now you'll be able to download their singles.

Screaming Believers - My Eyes 7''

1984 release with 'unprofessional' on the B-side.

Download Single

Screaming Believers - Sandra 7''

One of their better known songs, released in 1987. 'Is Vic There?' was the B-side.

Download Single

Screaming Believers & Fools Apart - I Want To Have You & Within An Inch 7''

Fairly obscure flexi.  The Screaming Believers split this single with Fools Apart in 1984.  You now should have all the Screaming Believers releases, except for a 'recently' released ceedee titled 'Stories From The Other Side', which you should be able to get from Citadel Records

Seems Twice - Non-Plussed EP

Possible an Aussie version of Wire.  Non-stop punk very darn similar to what Wire did on Pink Flag.  You know what, I'd say better.  Wire were just a version of Seems Twice!

Only a three piece (Anthony Yatras, John Douglas & Michael Molloy) - ladies and gentlemen, we have the perfect band from 1980.

Trilobites - Venus In Leather 7''

And here my story of The Trilobites starts (1985).  I remember driving around Frankston (near Melbourne) a little lost.  It's late at night, I'm on holiday and trying to find a motel.  Tired and listening to the radio.  This song jumped out at me and I immediately bought the single.  Just great rock.

What follows are all their 'major' releases (albums, EP's, compilation and cassette).  I have not included all their other singles.  Most double up on their major releases but I'm not entirely sure about that.  Anyway, enjoy the ride.

The Trilobites - Let's Pump (Live)

First output from these guys but I bought it after the single.  It's a cassette release and the year was 1985.  Songs like 'For Your Love' (Yardbirds) and 'Search & Destroy' (Stooges) tell you that this band will wear their heart on their sleeve.  Great Stuff.

Trilobites - Turn It Around

I'd call this garage rock and at the time (1987), I can remember this being the time when I really latched onto this genre.  Previously, it was dirty rock n' roll.  It's a grower and I have The Trilobites to thank for this.

Trilobites - I Can't Wait For Summer To End EP

Things are hotting up for this band.  People are noticing so let's get this EP out in 1988.

Trilobites - Savage Mood Swing

This album from 1990 is an Aussie classic.  Contains the single ' Fuck = Love' which will completely knock you over.  I have played this more than any of their other releases.

Trilobites - The Lost Generation

Last album from 1992.  To call it a day was such a disappointment to all the fans.  Making it in the music industry is not as easy as it seems.

Trilobites - American TV

Compilation from 1989.  Solid collection but I'd be disappointed if this is all that I had from this band.

The Credits - It's You 7''

Brisbane punk from 1979.  Now, impossible to find - but this band should have gone on to bigger and better things.  The Saints did, so why not these guys.
