about

Volume 2 of the super-popular cassette compilation.
Released on Brisbane Label STONE GROOVE in 1992.
Cat# Groove 5.

Label boss: Tim Steward

Volume 2 of Bruise, the indie comp cassette from 1991. This release finds the bands becoming generally heavier, the songwriting and performances taking huge leaps forward, and the recordings getting much better. It's altogether a step more serious and grown up, however for this it perhaps loses some of the spark of naive fun and innocence captured on Vol 1.

Originally a cassette-only release. These versions were recorded back straight from cassette and remastered to bring them up to level. Hopefully they survived the last 25 years pretty ok.

If you'd like to get in touch please email. If you're in one of the bands and I haven't been able to track you down get in touch too. I can send you a wave file of your song, and a full download of both collections.

Album includes a set of photos of the tape, scans of the entire 12 panel cover, and a set of flyer artwork.

Thanks to all the bands and the people involved. All songs copyright the artists, 1992.
