"Military Strongmen" was the second single from Slightly Odway, the 1997 Murmur debut from Australian alt-rockers Jebediah, and the single wasn't quite the album cut: it was remixed to push the guitars heavier. Chris Lord-Alge, the American engineer, mixed the song, and Neill King produced and engineered it, with David Davis assisting. The music is credited to Kevin Mitchell, Brett Mitchell, Chris Daymond and Vanessa Thornton, and Kevin Mitchell wrote the words.
The sleeve shows the Astor Cinema, a 1915 art deco picture palace where Beaufort Street meets Walcott Street in Mount Lawley, out in Western Australia. The single scraped to 65 on the ARIA chart, but Triple J's listeners liked it a lot more, voting it into the station's Hottest 100 for 1997.
