Cry Cyclops began life at the start of 2025. Made up of three-quarters of the Melbourne band previously known as Bits Of Shit - who released an LP on Homeless (hey, that's me!) and a number of 7"s on labels such as Total Punk, Lexicon Devil and Matador, toured the U.S and Japan, but have been inactive for nearly a decade - the goal was jamming, writing songs and trying not to be too much like BOS.
For those fortunate enough to attend a Bits Of Shit show across Melbourne, a rare Sydney visit or the aforementioned U.S and Japan jaunts, you knew you were witnessing something wild, dangerous and damn confrontational. I have felt just as intimidated at a Cry Cyclops show and can't recommend seeing them highly enough. Music should not be "safe". I still feel sorry for the frightened Japanese crowds who scattered as Danny would come bursting onstage, punching his fists together with a "RIIIIGHT!!"
Cry Cyclops like the sounds of early U.S west coast hardcore, scuzzy Australian noise-punk and all kinds of obtuse post-punk music. They like a lot of things. Somewhere in this midst lies their own music.
At the end of 2025, they started playing live shows around Melbourne and its surrounding regions, and decided in the new year they would put their music to tape, so they booked in a day with Paul Maybury at his Fairfield studio. They blasted through a set, had it mixed/mastered and chose approximately 26.5 minutes - an ideal length for such uncouth noise - of their favourites and now present this LP for your pleasure.
