Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Brother Brick played Detroit and punk-tinged rock 'n' roll thru the early to late 90's.
They released one obscure studio album called A Portable Altamont on an even obscurer French label as well as numerous 7" singles on great labels such as Estrus, Dog Meat and Bang!
Collected here on two CD's you'll find all the bands studio recordings (even their impossible to find debut cd/ep Getting Beyond A Shit) as well as live stuff, demos and covers. All tracks carefully remastered from original studio tapes with a few tracks rescued from cassette tape oblivion.
The 16 page full colour booklet includes extensive liner notes and rare pics of this now legendary band that over the years included members of Asteroid B-612, Tumbleweed, Celibate Rifles and The New Christs.
