Us Versus Them (2001) - Us Versus Them




This has been sitting in the box for a while, but for some reason it was only after a rip of this appeared somewhere on Facebook that I remembered that it needed to be uploaded. Another win in the search for period Aussie 'emo', Us Versus Them were a band from Lismore, signed to the veritable Building Records, whose 60 Songs compilation I uploaded not long ago (see former link to see a blurb on the record).


This was purchased off eBay, bur006 in the Building catalogue. The band had a website, which changed from its initial layout in 2001 (see for mentions of a band called Theory of Flight, whom they played with up in Brisbane - addendum: this site called Punk Down Under) to a more spartan look (pun intended) a year later. By around 2003, the site is defunct, so perhaps the band ceased to exist at that point.


There is also mention of a demo tape, with the following tracks:

1. Chapter Two is Dawning

2. Paint this Town

3. More than Gold

4. the High Cost of Segregation


If anybody has a copy of this, let me know so I can put up a rip.


The PLF #4 compilation also featured 'I Should Have Chosen Impulse', which tipped me off to the existence of the band in the first place.


1. Red Is Blood    5:34
2. As Tears Fall From Blackened Hearts    6:16

3. I Should Have Chosen Impulse    6:03

4. Reveling In Destruction; Ravaging In Defeat?    6:15

P.S. Here's an even more complete version of Punk Down Under which says that Us Versus Them's last show was 2/2/2002.
