"Political Animal" The Ghostwriters

A secretive side project of Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hirst in the 1990's are back with a few new songs and some remastered old rock numbers. Feeling a mixture of inspiration from Al Gore's interview on 'Enough Rope' and some guilt after his ARIA rant about political songs... Hirst has worked with Rick Grossman [Hoodoo Gurus and others], Martin Rotsey [Oils]Lee Moloney on drums [Diesel, Lost Gospel] and Producer/guitarist DC...

"Featuring the single 'Start The Day', the songs are tough, melodic, and retain the excitement and energy that comes from recording live in the studio." says one promo

TRACKS include:
Start The Day
Political Animal
Follow The Leader
Transportation
Empire Building
Impossible Shame
Second Skin
All Is Well With The World
Not My Time
The Wolves Close In
Sleep Of The Just
Someone's Singing New York New York

Its very 'Ghostwriters' rock and despite the seemingly obvious link "Political Animal" is not a shot at Peter Garrett [of whom Rob Hirst is very proud] but rather a spin off from Al Gore's assessment that he found politics to be a very toxic business.
