"Hard Act to Follow" led off Thrills, Kills + Sunday Pills, the fourth album from Australian rock band Grinspoon, released in 2004. Howard Benson produced, Mike Plotnikoff recorded and mixed and Paul DeCarli added keyboards, and it's a big, glossy slab of guitar rock with a chorus built for shouting back.

It climbed to 24 on the ARIA Singles Chart, and the band later played it at the closing ceremony of the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
