Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia in 1985, the debut full-length by Wheres the Pope? established the band as a bridge between greasy, hardcore punk thrills and manic thrash attacks. After a hiatus and a slight line-up change, Sunday Afternoon BBQs diverts from the typified, aural reference points in critical UK punk icons such as Disorder and Discharge but sees the band refined as they carve out a passage soaked entirely in their own electric stink. This is a record rejoicing in the lore of beery adolescents on the edge of the city streets with the dark, frenetic menace of Geek Attack, or the tumultuous sludge of Tourist Dream insurmountably evidential in just how profoundly important the band was to the Australian circuit.
