Throughout the 1980s, The Screaming Tribesmen were at the forefront of the Australian alternative guitar / garage rock movement, right up there with Radio Birdman, the Hoodoo Gurus, the Lime Spiders, the Beasts of Bourbon, the Celibate Rifles and the Eastern Dark. Led by the tenacious Mick Medew, and ably assisted by guitarist / producer and ex-Birdman member Chris Masuak, the Tribesmen established a reputation for explosive live performances, backed by an exhilarating repertoire of seminal, dynamic and catchy rock'n'roll tunes like Igloo, A Stand Alone, Ice, Date with a Vampyre and My True Love's Blood.

They enjoyed a run of Australian Alternative #1 hits as well as gaining Stateside attention with regular airplay on the US College Radio circuit. Their classic1988 single I've Got a Feeling featured heavily on US MTV's 120 Minutes, hitting #1 on the KROQ charts in LA and #7 on Billboard's modern rock chart. This comprehensive, 22-track anthology, with 12-page booklet, detailed notes and 78 minutes of music,is a feast for Australian guitar rock aficionados and lovers of quality music alike.
