The Killer is Within EP was released 25 years ago

The Killer is Within EP was released 25 years ago this month on Adelaide’s Dominator label. It consisted of 6 tracks, 4 of which were recorded live at the Great Britain Hotel, in Melbourne 20th October 1994. The live recordings consisted of Drive On, Battlesick, Details, and Attrition.

The title track Hindsight was written as a nod to Jim Thompsons “The Killer Inside Me” a 1952 American Noir crime novel which looked at the duplicitous nature of a small town sheriff who is also the town psychopath. One of my favourite stories. Great film version exists as well with Stacy Keach. Hindsight and Tell Me also appear on the 1995 release Ill At Ease, however both are earlier versions of the songs on that release.

The main thing I recall was that when we went down to the now darkened bar after we had played, and switched on the light to grab our gear in order to pack the van, as soon as the light went on it looked like every surface in the entire bar was covered in a black mass. I’d never seen so many cockroaches scatter all at once – they were everywhere. Funny how that is what I mainly recall of that night!

The proposed 25th Anniversary Ill At Ease Tour pla

The proposed 25th Anniversary Ill At Ease Tour planned for later in 2020 has been postponed for now but will be rescheduled for 2021 due to COVID-19 throwing the live music scene into turmoil.

While we know this is disappointing to many, we hope due to the circumstances you understand our decision on delaying the tour.
The good news is the tour will still occur and we will provide further details as they come to hand. We also hope to release Deluxe Vinyl and CD re-issues of Ill At Ease (produced by Henry Rollins) to celebrate the milestone.

In the meantime, stay safe.
