The Celibate Rifles Sideroxylon

Originally released in 1983, Sideroxylon marked the debut studio album from Australian underground rock legends The Celibate Rifles and remains one of the most important releases in the history of Australian alternative music.

Formed in Sydney in 1979, The Celibate Rifles built a reputation as one of Australia's most powerful and uncompromising live bands, combining high-energy rock, punk attitude and sharp songwriting into a sound that would influence generations of Australian musicians. Their impact on the local music scene continues to be felt decades after their formation.

Widely regarded as one of the band's defining recordings, Sideroxylon captures The Celibate Rifles at their raw and energetic best. Featuring fan favourites including Tick Tock and Back On The Corner, the album showcases the band's trademark blend of driving guitars, memorable hooks and relentless intensity that made them a fixture of Australia's independent music landscape.

This reissue gives collectors and longtime fans the opportunity to revisit a landmark Australian release, presented on classic black vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve.

An essential addition for fans of Australian rock, punk and alternative music.
