Demos from his more-loved 1970 release New Morning feature as well, but it’s the redemption of the previously slated material that will excite fans most.

There’s a lot to like – just go and get it.

Other stand-outs include Miss Communique, Cocaine Psycorella and of course the AFL and F1 racing anthem Only Love Things.

With a total running time of just over half an hour, Split is definitely worth a lunch break listen.

Formulaic to the point of pedestrian, not even Jordison’s typically water-tight drumming is enough to save Scar The Martyr from sub-par banality.

Despite Girls Like Us being their debut record, the passion inherent in each song is obvious – the direction steady and the drum beat relentless. Someone please get them to Australia and let them pillage us in person.

At times hypnotic, at others almost unbearable, it is ultimately a truly rewarding experience for those with an ear for noise.

It’s music that is clearly made for their own pleasure – and fuck the rest if they don’t like it.

The Bitch gets comfortable behind the piano and dives into a pool of cool, laid-back songs without the indulgent frou-frous of a big backing band.
