Marcus,
I've got that tape at home but you'll have to wait 3 weeks until I get home to view it. I can remember the one you are talking about but it alludes me at present.

If neither of thoes songs are it, type some of the lyrics into google and add lyrics to the end of it... its worked a trick for me in the past when ive heard a sick song but not known the title or band or anything.

Marcus, there is a sick Front End Loader track in Underground Tapes 2 in the Matt Percey section out the Island. It has been stuck in my head since '92. Ill search for it. The title may be a girls name.
p.s. Weak as piss is from Tapes 3, Nugget in Hawaii. Tapes 2 has quite a few FEL tracks as does Tapes 4: Ballistic.

i was just reading some front end loader interviews, it seems they are being labeled as the most underated band in australia.
quite unfortunate as they are good enough to be famous.

coops
i finally scored a copy of the first album, signed, at maitland of all places.
front end loader were playing and i managed to talk to a band member at the interval who knew what i was on about abd hooked me up at the end of the show.
but i had to wait untill another balding (i asume) older bodyboarder hounded them for ages for autographs and asked them if they had heard of bodyboarding and would they father his children etc etc, and all i wanted was to buy a cd.
appologies if i offended you dude but you were being a groupie big time and they just wanted to go home...
anyway the song is bad blood.
whooo yeah so stoked.
that ones from 1991, hard to believe time goes so quickly...

I remember a great sequence in Underground Tapes at the island (might've even been the lefts from memory) with an epic Massappeal track (ahh, very underrated band - too metal for punks and too punk for the mealheads). Can't remember the name but it was on their Mechanic album (also '91); had a huge cello part of all things but really worked. Used to watch that over and over...
