About this album

Johnny Diesel & The Injectors introduced Mark Lizotte’s band with a raw, blues-rooted rock sound that stood out in late-1980s Australian music. Released in 1989, the album mixed garage-rock grit with tight hooks and a vocalist-guitarist presence that gave the songs real bite. Led by the breakthrough single Cry In Shame, it helped make Johnny Diesel a major local name and showed the band’s knack for balancing muscle, melody and swing. The record’s direct approach and strong songcraft made it one of the more durable Australian rock debuts of its era, with Looking For Love and Soul Revival reinforcing its hard-edged appeal.
