Background and release

Too Much Humbug was something of a "comeback album", released when the band regrouped in the wake of Christine Anu's success with their song "My Island Home" in 1995. The album was produced by Mark Ovenden and includes a powerful re-recording of "Back Fella/White Fella" as well as "Stompin' Ground" which was nominated for Best Indigenous Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 1997. Musically the album mixes powerful hard rock with the band's earlier roots, reggae and country influences.
