"1000 Miles" rode in on New Detention, the third album from Australian rock band Grinspoon, released in June 2002, and it took its time becoming a single. Triple J had it on air as an album track through the back half of 2002, long before Universal finally issued it on August 18, 2003, as the album's fourth single, when it reached the ARIA top 100. Phil McKellar produced, recorded and mixed it, with Evan McHugh assisting, and the band share the writing credit.
The single came loaded: three extra tracks taped live at Sydney's Enmore Theatre in early 2003 on the Panic Attack Tour, plus an animated video that never aired on television, full of rednecks, with Phil Jamieson cast as a preacher singing the praises of booze.
