Forced Communal Existence

Howdy punkè rocke fans, welcome to Forced Communal Existence-the wonderful and frightening world of Alien Nosejob's EP's & singles.Anti Fade and Agitated Records are teaming together to bring you a paint stripping, mind altering, rare collection of EP and compilation tracks recorded in various Australian bedrooms and garages between 2017 and 2022. The sound of goofy obnoxiousness will soon be permeating your bedroom airwaves and perforating your eardrums. Kicking off this long player is an EP that was recorded by Billy from Anti Fade in his childhood bedroom in July 2017. The songs came to fruition while Ausmuteants were on tour in Japan 2016. There was a lot of 'Wallaby Beat / Murder Punk' being played in the background while seeing the sites of Mount Fuji and 'Bar Fuck Yeah'. In between shows Jake was organising the release of Danny Graham and Plastic And The EPs records on the label he co-ran Xerox Music. Both artists played parts in the sound and ethos of the Panel Beat EP. The goal was to make the songs sound unapologetically Australian without pretending to be something they're not. There's no fake accents or songs about VB and mullets. Instead, there's songs about every day struggles, like dealing with fickle fashion followers, having too many fucking records, playing PlayStation, resentment and manipulation. 500 copies were pressed and self released, with a photo slipped inside each copy at random. Next is The Death Of The Vinyl Boom, which was self recorded in a shed in November 2017. This is the only Alien Nosejob release (besides this comp, smartarse) to feature a cover-'Flyblown' by Adelaidean arty weirdo band Jackson Zumdish. The idea behind this EP was to incorporate the simplicity and scrappiness of the late 70's DIY Australian sound, but give them the complicated structures of prog songs. Scum stats-500 copies, self released. Several copies were smeared with Jake's blood and had smashed pieces of vinyl glued to the front cover. Now we have a cover of the Dead Kennedys. The conspiracy theorist wet dream Government Flu. Recorded September 2020 during lockdown in one-man-band with a tape recorder fashion for a 20 minute unedited 'live set' video where all instruments were played one by one, sung and mixed in the space of a couple of hours. The HC45 7" was recorded at the same time as a disco 12" maxi, which I hear were originally meant to come out on the same day. Shit happens I guess? This EP came out in Feb 2020 and sounds somewhere between early Gang Green, Die Kruezen and the Beastie Boys old bullshit. Self recorded on a 4 track with a broken pinch roller. Lyrically this thing is cynical and choc-a-bloc full of satire and hate. A year later a sequel was recorded the same way, on the same machine. No fucking disco this time though. Cold Bare Facts is the most recent recording on this comp. Self recorded in Jake's bedroom 2022 It has the same mid paced tempo as DYS or SSD when they're at their slowest (pre-Boston Curse, of course!). Both songs take a stinky shit on the Australian state police. 300 copies. Finishing the record is a cover by The Aints. Originally written by Ed Keupper for The Saints' Eternally Yours album, but it sounded too similar to Lost and Found. Originally released on 'ALTA' cassette compilation during the lockdown.
