Stylo Curiae  

Stylo Curiae E.P.

Defryme's first release "Stylo Curiae" got plenty of radio support from JJJ in Melbourne and Sydney, due to its indie feel. The band was very fortunate to have excellent reviews that praised the E.P. in the Melbourne street magazines Beat and Inpress, which led to greater live show audience attendance, and a generally higher profile for Defryme.

     
Purekiller  

Purekiller L.P.

The first full-length album, "Purekiller", brought the band's profile into the average Australian family home, mainly due to fantastic support from the legendary Hey, Hey Its Saturday. Continued praise from Inpress and Beat, added to by the mainstream Rolling Stone magazine and Interstate street magazines, helped push Defryme's debut album to #3 with a bullet on the ARIA National Chart.

     
1992 Melbourne Music Festival Tram Tracks  

1992 Melbourne Music Festival Tram Tracks

The 1992 Festival was a great introduction for a lot of Melbourne punters to the Defryme style and sound. This compilation also featured excellent songs from Daryl Braithwaite, E, Deb Conway and The Lovers.

     
1992 Release of God Inside A Man  

God Inside A Man (single)

The 1992 Release of God Inside A Man was a huge deal for Defryme. The band had just been signed to Chris Gilbey's A.R.E. label, and to top it off, they were getting to work with Mark Dearnley, who had just finished working with Mother Love Bone.

     
1992 Fresh Tracks Compilation  

Fresh Tracks

Australian Music Day November 28th 1992, Defryme played one of the many live gigs around Australia to celebrate our music culture. Fresh Tracks was the release to celebrate emerging young bands from all over the country.

     
1993 JJJ Live At The Wireless Compilation  

1993 JJJ Live At The Wireless Compilation

Defryme were really excited to be asked to perform on Live At The Wireless, twice. This session was recorded in the old ABC Studios in Melbourne. The album also features Faith No More, Chris Wilson, The Truth and Badloves.

     
1993 JJJ Live At The Wireless Compilation  

Purekiller (single)

The first release from the album of the same name, Purekiller undoubtedly carried the worst and most lack-lustre cover of any Defryme release. The band feel that there must have been an in-joke going on at BMG that they were not privy to. Still, it was a very strong song and statement, and Defryme fans responded to it.

     
1994 Australian And Loud  

Australian And Loud (compilation)

Our song Purekiller opens this excellent compilation. Baby Animals, Ed Kuepper and The Celibate Rifles are some other notable musicians featured on the album.

     
1994 Feeding The Future  

Feeding The Future (compilation)

Purekiller returns on this compilation put together by Ausmusic for Ausmusic Day Saturday November 26th 1994. This album is a real who's-who of the Australian musical community, with songs from Marcia Hines, Stephen Cummings, Richard Pleasance and The Sharp.

     
1994 Australian And Louder  

Hit Machine Volume 4 (compilation)

Our song Purekiller is on this early 1994 compilation. Also on the album are Baby Animals, Depeche Mode, Leftfield, Urge Overkill and Take That (Mark from the group LOVED Defryme).

     
1994 Eleven  

JJJ Eleven (compilation)

Back by popular demand, Purekiller is on disc 2 of this very versatile compilation. It also features Pantera, Body Count, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day and Alice Cooper.

     
1994 Mama Said Knock You Out  

Mama Said Knock You Out (single)

Defryme's second single from Purekiller is a cover of an LL Cool J song. The band are not particularly happy that the record company releases this song as a single, but can't argue with the logic. The song is a moderate hit, that actually charted higher than the original in this country, and live gig attendance goes through the roof.

     
1994 Sanity  

Sanity (single)

The third release from Purekiller completely crossed over and was played on JJJ, RRR, MMM and Fox, which at the time was unheard. The band's profile became very prominent and it seemed nothing could stop the Defryme juggernaut.

1994 Australian And Louder  

Australian And Louder (compilation)

Sanity is featured on this compilation. The Meanies, The Poor, Hoodoo Gurus and Caligula are some of the awesome Australian musicians featured as well.

     
1994 Hit Machine 6  

Hit Machine 6 (compilation)

Sanity features on this compilation. The Prodigy, Des'ree, The Truth, The Black Sorrows and Bjorn Again are also on the album.

     
1995 Rock Culture  

Rock Culture (compilation)

Some more Sanity. Hoodoo Gurus, The Badloves, Horsehead and Jimmy Barnes also feature.

     
1995 Gladiators  

Gladiators (compilation)

Our song Mama Said Knock You Out is chosen by the Gladiator "Cheetah" as her addition to this compilation that also features songs from Billy Idol, George Thorogood, Pat Benatar and Technotronic.

Jodie: My god.. Are you having a midlife crisis?! haha
Brad: I'm not your god, I'm god inside a man. I don't need therapy I'm just a little wired because it's cold as a brass monkey lately. Mama said knock you out but I thought you would cry - besides I'm not a purekiller. My sanity is sweeter shelter so... cry me a rivers, yeah!

D: "Tell you a funny story Quinn....when I was playing I also worked with my Dad building houses part time for more cash...I first heard "God inside a man:" the day I was working and nearly shot my uncle in the head with the nail gun because I was not paying attention"
