SPLURGE is a four-piece Melbourne band that has been playing and recording together since 1997. Adelaide-born songwriter Greg Williams (Young Homebuyers, The Every Brothers) and guitarist Neville Hill (Napoleon Goes Solo) got together in Neville's front room to record eight-track demos of songs which were soon demanding a band setting. Joined by drummer Owen Smythe (Grin Dogs), they recruited songwriter Greg Arnold (Things of Stone and Wood) to play bass on sessions that led to the release of a 12-track, self-titled album in 1999.

The recording of the band's brand new CD, Heavy Weather, followed an Arnold-Williams collaboration for Adelaide label Round Records under the guise of The Every Brothers. The boys 'went bush' with a portable studio to The Cabin in Hall's Gap for a weekend, recording ten songs live over two days, with songs being rehearsed and arranged on the spot. The CD was titled Tintinara Breakdown (a song they wrote during the session about the mysterious absence of a band member).
