Sea Scouts were a Tasmanian noise-rock band in the 90s. If you've every hung around Hobart music circles, you've probably heard their name referenced a few times, usually reverently. While the legend of the Sea Scouts does get played up a lot (Melbourne thirty-somethings seem to be particularly fond of the group), its not without reason. They're good. Here's 'War As A Weapon', a song they released on Zum Records when they toured America in 1999. You can even still buy that same 7" from the label directly - $3 US plus shipping. It comes with B-side 'Burn Down Your Local McDonalds'.

Hammering The Cramps were a Hobart band circa 2006. Their unreleased debut recording will be released through Wormwood Grasshopper Records on vinyl next year, if all goes according to plan. It features musicians who went on to play in bands like Drunk Elk, Wendy In The Mountains, etc.
