Even As We Speak with a 'Three Minute Song Is A Minute To Long' on Egg Records. A 17 track compilation of all the early singles from the cheeky honest Aussie popsters. Some cracking pure songs that are still relevant and influential today making this release a great a historical look at indie tweeness. New Order and Glen Campbell have their songs covered in the bands ramshackle style.

"Even As We Speak are in possession of two qualities which set them apart from you average guitar-pop band: firstly, a total lack of pretense which gives them a decidedly casual, almost offhand stage presense (rarely do they ever dress up, let alone pose) and secondly, the striking songwriting talent of singer/guitaruist Matthew Love, the author of neat pop sogs that manage to be emotive, offbeat and very appealing in the classic sense"
