Sorry for the lo-res cover image, I stole it from discogs. I can't remember if I even have the proper album release to scan, or just the promo edition with a plain-ish cardboard sleeve. In any case, here's the sort of slow indie Sebadoh-worship that was going on at the time, with Jamie Hutchings capably handling the maudlin indie on this number from 1995. I've never been a huge fan of his voice, but he's a solid songwriter.
As to period web links, hmm... here's a geocities mirror of a mention on the Kill the Cod zine website. I might have some more links on another computer, so when I dig that one out, I'll let you know...
A Melbourne band also appears to have called themselves Firetrail.
1. Beautifully Tragic 4:17
2. One Way Ticket To Antarctica 7:05
3. Dead Again 3:56
4. Paean For Sandpaper Mouth 4:10
5. Requiem For The Holden 5:52
6. Don't Care Anymore 2:13
7. Crush 3:12
