Eternal Nightcap was the third studio album by Australian rock band The Whitlams, released in March 1997. The album peaked at number 14 on the ARIA charts and was certified gold.
A limited edition vinyl LP of Eternal Nightcap was released in 2006, with only 500 copies being pressed. Notably, Love is Everywhere and Tangled Up in Blue were left off this version of the album.
On 6 August 2009, The Whitlams played Eternal Nightcap in its entirety for the first time, with the exclusion of Tangled up in Blue, at the Karova Lounge in Ballarat.
The album not only achieved critical acclaim but also commercial success as it became the biggest selling independent album in Australian history.

The Temper Trap are Dougy Mandagi, Jonathon Aherne, and Toby Dundas. The trio formed in 2005.
Conditions was the debut studio album, released on 19 June 2009. It was later released in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2009.
The album debuted at number nine on the Australian Albums Chart, where it has been certified platinum, and peaked at number 25 on the UK Albums Chart, largely due to the success of the debut single Sweet Disposition, which peaked at number six on the singles chart.
The song Science of Fear was featured in the EA Sports video game FIFA 10 and the Codemasters racing game DiRT 2.
The album was completed in March 2009 in a final London Session with Abbiss, following a previous four-week stint at Melbourne's Sing Sing Studios with renowned Australian producer Kalju Tonuma who engineered the album.
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2010 in November, The Temper Trap won Best Group and Most Popular Australian Single for Sweet Disposition.

Black Fingernails, Red Wine was the third studio album by WA's own Eskimo Joe.
The band recorded Black Fingernails, Red Wine on the central coast of NSW's The Grove Studios. The Grove Studios were originally known as Mangrove Studio and were formerly owned by INXS bass player Garry Gary Beers.
Released back on 10 June 2006, the album became their first number one on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart, debuting atop the chart in the week of 19 June 2006.
The album was certified 4× Platinum in Australia. It is their best selling album to date.
On 10 March 2019, an anniversary edition of the album was released as a two-disc set and saw the album's release for the first time on vinyl.
The album is noted for being heavily influenced by the production techniques and sound of early 1980s rock, with many similarities to vintage Icehouse and INXS.
I was a huge fan of Eskimo Joe, dating all the way back to Sweater. This album followed Girl and A Song is a City. The three piece have been solid since day one. The group toured relentlessly, worked extremely hard, released a number of singles whilst also getting around the festival scene.
They played Falls Festival, Big Day Out and more.
