Hits

by The Birthday Party

Hits cover art

An ironically titled, yet entirely essential compilation summarizing the wildly chaotic, brief career of Nick Cave's initial post-punk outfit. The tracks highlight the band's terrifying blend of jagged, swamp-blues guitar dissonance and completely unhinged vocal exorcisms. It serves as a definitive primer for one of the most dangerous and mythologized bands in underground rock history.
