Rollins Band – Insert Band Here Live In Australia 1990 – Compact Disc
Insert Band Here: Live in Australia 1990 is a powerful live album by the Rollins Band, recorded on May 22, 1990, during an intense and raw performance at The Old Greek Theatre in Sydney, Australia. Captured by Australia’s Triple J FM, the album wasn’t officially released until 1999, nearly a decade later, offering fans a retrospective glimpse into the band’s aggressive and emotionally charged live presence during their early years. This live set documents Henry Rollins and his band at a peak moment in their post-hardcore evolution, blending visceral energy with tight musicianship.
The tracklist spans much of their classic material, including standout songs like “Lonely,” “Tearing,” “Out There,” and “You Didn’t Need.” Rollins’ spoken-word intensity and confrontational delivery are complemented by the band’s heavy, groove-driven instrumentation, making the live versions of these tracks feel even more cathartic than their studio counterparts. The inclusion of “Earache My Eye,” originally by Cheech and Chong, adds a dose of sardonic humor amid the album’s raw emotional weight.
The sound quality is strong for a live punk/alternative record of the era, with mastering handled by the renowned George Marino at Sterling Sound in New York. While Insert Band Here didn’t gain the mainstream recognition of studio releases like The End of Silence or Weight, it remains a treasured document among hardcore fans, especially for those who appreciate the unfiltered power of live performance.
