Background and release

Frente! were formed in Melbourne, as "Frente", in 1989 by Simon Austin on guitar and backing vocals, Angie Hart on lead vocals, Tim O'Connor on bass guitar, and Mark Picton on drums and recorder. The band spent two years performing in Melbourne's inner-city venues before, in August 1991, issuing their self-funded debut extended play, Whirled, on the Thumb Print label. It was produced and engineered by Owen Bolwell at Whirled Records in Richmond.[1] Hart explained that the exclamation mark was added for the CD's cover art "[w]e don't write our name like that, but we thought we would on the CD covers because it looks good". One of Whirled's eight tracks, "Labour of Love", was voted by Triple J listeners to No. 69 on their Hottest 100 for 1991.[1][2]

gollark: How? I thought binding and whatever were very sensitive to the particular shape.
gollark: It probably can't fold *that* differently without just not working.
gollark: Weird that everyone suddenly started closing borders *now* given that it's apparently been around and known about somewhat for two weeks or so.
gollark: The report doesn't mention anything about vaccines but the article says they'll keep working, as only ~~one bit~~ some of the spike protein changed.
gollark: The BBC article (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55388846) talking about it links this report on it: https://khub.net/documents/135939561/338928724/SARS-CoV-2+variant+under+investigation%2C+meeting+minutes.pdf/962e866b-161f-2fd5-1030-32b6ab467896?t=1608470511452
