Chapter Music reveals a trove of previously unreleased recordings by early 80s Aussie disco-punk heroes Use No Hooks. The band feature Arne Hanna from Michael Hutchence's late 80s INXS side-project Max Q, as well as members of infamous Melbourne synth-punk band Primitive Calculators. Use No Hooks are best known for their 1983 Aussie punk-funk classic Do The Job, never released at the time and first heard on Chapter's Can't Stop It! #2 compilation in 2007. e track was later bootlegged on a 12Inch by UK DJs Psychemagik and has since become a leftfield club staple. The band existed in various incarnations from 1979-84. They took part in Melbourne's renowned Little Band scene, before morphing unexpectedly into a nine piece disco-funk big band in 1983. This final incarnation took nods from Chic, Talking Heads and the Sugarhill Gang, twisting them into an Australian punk-funk, proto-rap uniquely their own. The band recorded five songs onto reel-to-reel four track with engineer Simon Grounds in 1983, including the legendary Do the Job, but the unmixed tape remained in a cupboard for more than 35 years. A chance conversation between Simon and Chapter's Guy Blackman lead to the songs finally being rescued from the aging reel. Mikey Young and Simon Grounds mixed the recordings, and UNH bandleader Mick Earls added choice live/rehearsal tracks from the band's earlier lineups as digital bonus material. The end result proves Do the Job was no accident. Lead vocalist (and Primitive Calculators frontman) Stuart Grant intones Mick Earl's dry, colloquial lyrics in playful dialogue with singers Denise Hilton (Primitive Calculators), Marisa Stirpe (The Take) and Wendy Morrissey, over frighteningly tight white funk grooves from Mick Earls (guitar), Phil Nichols (keys), Matt Errey (keys), Andre Schuster (bass) and Arne Hanna (drums).

My worst part describes an intensely personal and inexorably, irremediably political affair. A Inchtraining novelInch focused on growth, maturation, the ancient struggle for resistance to the progressive shattering of illusions. The parable of love becomes here a universal category of social-relational integration. Through the precise narration of the spasmodic research of the loved one, which is after all an identity research on the field - along a time span ranging from early youth to maturity - a conflictual relationship with society is represented, and personal growth coincides with a process of estrangement and fierce criticism. The protagonist sees gradually fading the expectations of his youth in the daily struggle for survival and in fact he perceives himself, relationships, belonging, and the world around, as if in a boil. Political leave seems the only answer the substantial leave from the ritual dynamics of this crazed world, from it's perverted productive and financial logics; from the ballot boxes; from it's cultural and cult cages. Because it does not mean going out defeated or InchbrokenInch after the extraversion, it does not mean InchunpluggingInch. It rather marks the transition to a higher level of awareness, expressing a rejection of shared rules in which the greatest contradictions of our time are reflected. A multidimensional story that lives, quivers, pulsates, roots, surfaces, emerges from the territory (one of the first songs is sung entirely in dialect), to hover over the bell towers, churches, over the chimneys, the scrub, aiming at synthesis; to the codification of a universal sense. From a musical point of view it is a substantially acoustic album mainly focused on piano and guitar, but also percussion, bass, drums, accordion, chalumeau, synth, slide guitar, theremin, double bass. The arrangements, the result of close collaboration betwee
