Returning to my Samsung playlist on this fine Sunday morning… ~Vic

I posted a Baby Animals song, previously, in 2020. Painless is the 3rd track from their same debut album and the third single, released in November of 1991. I remember hearing this on Rock 92 out of Greensboro. This was the only single to make it onto Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, peaking at #29.

“Too young to know, too old to listen…”

Sunday evening’s playlist submission is Early Warning by Australian band Baby Animals. The second track from their debut album Baby Animals, it was released on April 21, 1991, as their debut single. Written by Suze DeMarchi, Dave Leslie and Eddie Parise, the song was nominated for Single of the Year and Song of the Year in 1992 by the Australian Recording Industry Association. The album was awarded Album of the Year at The Arias Awards.

I discovered this band when their third track Painless was released in the US in November 1991. Suze’s voice is stunning and powerful and, her band is as hard rocking as any from Downunder. I bought the CD and there’s not a bad song on it. It deserved Album of the Year. They broke up in 1996 but, reformed in 2007. They continue to perform and record.
