Two decades after mysteriously disbanding, while riding high on the success of their one and only classic LP, 1987's 'At First Sight- Violets are Blue', Australian garage rock legends THE STEMS are set to release their highly anticipated second album 'Heads Up'.
Containing 10 new, spankin' original garage rock gems 'Heads Up' was recorded in Perth in earlier part of 2007 at the analogue and vintage recording compound KingDom Studios and later mixed at Ultrasuede in Cincinnati by producer John Curley (White Stripes, Afghan Wigs, Greenhornes, & Ronnie Spector).
In March 2003 THE STEMS reunited for a national tour which would see an amazing comeback to local and international music scene. After the re-release of their classic 'At First sight Violets are Blue' originally released in 1987 and the release of the 'Mushroom Soup Anthology' and 'Terminal Cool' retrospective in the US, THE STEMS have found themselves playing to packed houses across the country, touring Europe and playing the prestigious 'Little Stevens Underground Garage Festival.
If the recent sold out shows are any indication, their long overdue second album 'Heads Up' released on October 6 will further consolidate their reputation.
