Straitjacket Fits - Hail - Vinyl Record
Straitjacket Fits – Hail is a vinyl reissue of the 1988 album from New Zealand indie rock pioneers Straitjacket Fits. Born from the collaboration of Shayne Carter and John Collie in 1986, with Andrew Brough and David Wood joining, the band delivers a diverse spectrum of sounds across Hail—from fierce guitar drive to melodic, atmospheric passages.
Recorded at The Lab in Auckland with Terry Moore, the album captures the band’s growing confidence and willingness to push boundaries, pairing intense guitar work with powerful vocals and occasional experimental textures. This reissue carries the poignant weight of Andrew Brough’s passing, underscoring his deft songwriting and distinctive guitar contributions to Straitjacket Fits and his other projects.
Ideal for fans of late-80s New Zealand rock and collectors who value guitar-forward indie rock with thoughtful experimentation, this release stands as a vivid snapshot of a pivotal moment in the band’s evolution. Secure this reissue to revisit a landmark of cathartic, boundary-pushing rock.
