Iron Sausage was a grind/hardcore band formed in Sydney around 1996, dissolving in a blaze of noise and BBQ sauce sometime after 2001. With absurdist humour, politics and noise, we occupied a small space in Australia’s underground with a blend of grindcore. and punk delivered at breakneck speed. Iron Sausage was: Ed Melville (vocals), Campbell Troy (guitar/vocals), John Irish (drums), and Fred Rodrigues (bass).
The self-titled CD, released on Carnival Of The Animals / Chaotic Thoughts Records, featured 22 tracks wrapped in a screen-printed cloth bag and hand-numbered to 1000 copies. A limited blue vinyl 7” followed via Deplorable Recordings.
Sharing lineage with bands like Lentil Soup, Mutiny, Canine, and Chinese Burns Unit, Iron Sausage was a product of the fertile and feral Sydney punk scene.
