Description<\/p>\n

Regurgitator’s second full-length album,\u00a0Unit\u00a0(1997), was produced in a DIY warehouse studio at a time when this was\u00a0unusual for a major label band. The album went three times Platinum in\u00a0Australia and won five esteemed ARIA Awards in 1998, including Album of\u00a0the Year. The album’s success is indicative of a particular point in\u00a0time in popular music trends, when the world was\u00a0recovering from the\u00a0impact of grunge and post-grunge bands.<\/p>\n

Regurgitator’s\u00a0subversive attitude toward pop music, punk aesthetic, unique lyrical\u00a0narratives and an ironic view on their own creative product made their\u00a0music potent in an alternative market\u00a0defying the prevailing music\u00a0trends.\u00a0Unit\u00a0and Regurgitator were the focus of divisive critical\u00a0reviews, yet they continue to rank highly as a quintessentially\u00a0Australian band. This volume situates\u00a0the development of\u00a0Unit\u00a0amongst the DIY culture of a politically charged Brisbane scene, and\u00a0breaks down the album through the lens of recording and songwriting\u00a0processes. This book\u00a0outlines the impact of Regurgitator’s music locally\u00a0and globally, by discussing what made\u00a0Unit\u00a0a success at the peak of the alternative music genre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
