Stand Defiant / The Scandal – Split

Artist: Stand Defiant & The Scandal (Hobart, Tasmania)

Title: Split

Format: CD (Limited Independent Pressing)

Original Release Date: August 2004

Label: Disconnect Records (Catalog: DCR001)

Genre: Melodic Hardcore / Punk Rock

The "Deep Dive" Details:

  • The Disconnect Records Debut: This is a historically significant piece for the Tasmanian scene as it was the very first release (DCR001) on Hobart's Disconnect Records. The label was instrumental in pushing Tassie punk and hardcore to the mainland.

  • The "Hobart Sound" Snapshot: This split captures the prime era of Hobart's punk community. Stand Defiant were the city's melodic hardcore champions, while The Scandal brought a gritty, high-energy punk rock edge. Both bands became staples of the Australian touring circuit (supporting acts like Lagwagon and Against Me!).

  • The Tracks: It features 8 tracks total (4 from each band).

    • Stand Defiant side: Includes tracks like "Self-Destruct" and "The Last Laugh."

    • The Scandal side: Known for the track "Apathetic State."

  • Pressing Anomalies: * The matrix code should read 68975 DCR001 and often features a www.mediatec.com.au or Infodisc stamp, confirming its local Australian manufacturing.

    • Because it was an early indie release, the cardstock for the sleeve is often thin, making "mint" copies with no corner dings or ring wear highly desirable.

  • Rarity Factor: Extremely high outside of Tasmania. Most copies were sold at shows in Hobart or through small distro hubs like Resist Records in Sydney. It is a "holy grail" for collectors of the early 2000s Australian Hardcore (AHC) scene.
