MELT be my favorite album of the 90's. It's one of the all-time guitar albums for me, up with The Stone Roses, and Marquee Moon by Television. It breaks my heart that they are so over-looked, and that they imploded. Between the horrible demise of The Doublehappys, and the Fits disbanding, Shayne has never become the recognized genius he should be. Dimmer is great, but MELT is the tits.

They're the bist bind ever!

I'm sick of hearing about Brough - fucking Harry Potter!

He was in the same band as everyone else - and what did he do after SJF's...absolutely jack fucking shit!!! ...end of story

One of the greatest NZ bands - Shayne Carter is a legend!

[gavgams]

Yea, great band, - pre and post Brough. They could make you feel like your flying with huge choruses. KJezza's right too. Still, the Church are still kicking goals. You fans might like Sloan and db's, too. I live in Oz near Geelong.

Brough's Bike clips on You tube are great, too.  and yea you can hear a Radiohead type passion tin the music.

One of the finest....No, the finest act NZ has ever produced. Such a shame Brough and Shayne Carter clashed. If only they could see the synergy between Shayne's angst and Andrew's beautiful melodies. Fuck - America and the rest of the world would have spooned them up like honey. Just imagine (if possible) another album released somewhere near the quality of Melt.

Sigh.

Ross - Brisbane, Australia.

They should have been a lot more widely known than they were. Not in a top 40 way, they just should have been better known in their time instead of being a cult band for us oldies to show the young uns.

Fucking great band, thanks NZOZ, another nugget of gold.

[cregy1111]

don't know about the clip, but this is one of their best songs. so good.

[keironphillips1]

The Fits really were the finest band ever, and I mean EVER!! Mr Livid should be younger and more angry though....

[NZRichard1967]

Love this! I live in Sydney and am fed up with redneck Australian rock.
