    About this album

    Hail is a striking debut from Straitjacket Fits, and one of the key New Zealand indie rock albums of the late 1980s. Released in 1988, it balanced wiry guitars, brooding atmosphere and unusually strong melodic instincts, giving the band a sound that felt tense yet emotionally expansive. The record helped define the Flying Nun-era underground while also pointing beyond it, with songs such as Telling Tales, Life In One Chord and Only You Knew showing how the group could turn abrasion into something memorable and moving. Its reputation has only grown as a landmark of Antipodean alternative rock.
