hilltop hoods' debut album. the promotion, manufacturing and marketing of the album was funded by a grant from the band's local government and resulted in the band once it became successful setting up its own grant scheme for south australian hip hop musicians.
''it was a publicity grant. we used it mainly to print up flyers and put ads in local street press for our album. to put out the album before that ep we actually had to take out a bank loan just to finance it. we were young and broke at the time and really had no other resources to get money. luckily we had enough money left over from the sales of that to bring out our second album'' - mathew lambert (suffa)

this is an ''out of press'' album, this is what hh says about out of press albums:
''the albums available for download from this site are out of print for a reason. we were very young and they are very old. if you're using these albums as a way to get a feel for the group, please don't. please reference the latest mp3s in the 'audio' section of hilltophoods.com if you are new to our sound. we've only put these albums up for download out of love for our listeners who couldn't track them down.''
get it from the-0uternet/hh website.
