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 and a number of 7"s on labels such as Total Punk, Lexicon Devil and Matador, toured the US 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.

CC like the sounds of early US 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.
