Pushing Buttons by Grinspoon

Pushing Buttons, Grinspoon's third EP, came out through Universal on 21 September 1998, just as the band from Lismore, New South Wales, was being signed to Universal in the United States. The lineup was the one they started with in 1995: Phil Jamieson on vocals and guitar, Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass and Kristian Hopes on drums.

It's a short, sharp blast of heavy alternative rock, riffs chugging and Jamieson yowling over the top. The EP's cover of Prong's "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" also found its way onto the ECW: Extreme Music compilation, and "Black Friday" was the song that hit the countdowns. It reached 13 on the ARIA singles chart.
