RUPTURE Gospel From The Gutter (1995) Digipak CD

Sydney's RUPTURE were the kind of band that made even hardcore kids nervous. Raw, relentless, and proudly Australian in the most abrasive sense possible, they spent the late 80s and early 90s grinding out noise punk that had more in common with early Discharge and the nastiest end of the US hardcore scene than anything polite.

Gospel From The Gutter is a 1995 compilation that rounds up the essential RUPTURE material, and if you've been sleeping on this record you've been sleeping on one of the most uncompromising bands the Australian punk underground ever produced. The 2023 Digipak reissue brings it back properly, for the collectors, the completists, and anyone who wants to understand what Australian punk looked and sounded like before it got cleaned up for public consumption. This is raw, ugly, and absolutely essential for anyone serious about the scene's history.

Format: Compilation Digipak CD. 7 tracks. Australian artist, originally released 1995, this pressing 2023.

Fans of: Discharge, Antisect, Venom P. Stinger, early Amebix.
