Where will they be 30 years from now?
Playing at some stadium, or just in Adamstown.
Will mongo still be drunk, and do they practise only every 6 months?
CHORUS
Over the hill and Wiseheimer’s their name,
Geriatric punk rock is their game.
Will there ever be an album number 3?
And will they ever play the song ‘Spider Monkey’?
Will Jake still be rich, and Chunk still a cop.
Will Vince have his pants down, and Heath have a job?
Will mongo still be drunk, and do they play only every 6 months.
CHORUS
Sitting in a wheelchair, staring into blank air.
Losing all their hair but does anybody care?
Walking round on a frame, or crawling on their hands.
Eating mash potato, whilst shitting in their pants.
I’ll still be watching them when I turn 64.
They’ll wave the cover charge and get my name put on the door.

This is a damn fine release. It feels genuine; at times even emotional (in a good way). It's fun and witty while also being pissed off in all the right ways. It's political, critical, and nonconformist. Yet it still manages to feel original in an arguably oversaturated genre. Nicholas Whittemore
On their ferocious self-titled debut, the Australian punks pit d-beat percussion against gnarled, metallic melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 3, 2024
