Formed in Collingwood in 1990, the three-piece
consisting of original members Charlie Rooke
(guitar & vocals), Allan Catlin (double bass &
vocals) and Piet Collins (drums) already had a
strong live following but when they released the
independent single ‘Love Your Head’ the band
quickly gained radio support on Triple R and PBS.

Triple J were soon behind the band and a record
deal with Warner Music was struck. Their debut
album This Is The Sharp was certified gold and
the band earned ARIA nominations, magazine
covers and appearances on just about every
TV/radio show in Australia.
