Regurgitator’s second full-length album, Unit (1997), was
produced in a DIY warehouse studio at a time when this was unusual
for a major label band. The album went three times Platinum in
Australia and won five esteemed ARIA Awards in 1998, including
Album of the Year. The album’s success is indicative of a
particular point in time in popular music trends, when the world
was recovering from the impact of grunge and post-grunge bands.
Regurgitator’s subversive attitude toward pop music, punk
aesthetic, unique lyrical narratives and an ironic view on their
own creative product made their music potent in an alternative
market defying the prevailing music trends. Unit and Regurgitator
were the focus of divisive critical reviews, yet they continue to
rank highly as a quintessentially Australian band. This volume
situates the development of Unit amongst the DIY culture of a
politically charged Brisbane scene, and breaks down the album
through the lens of recording and songwriting processes. This book
outlines the impact of Regurgitator’s music locally and globally,
by discussing what made Unit a success at the peak of the
alternative music genre.
