Thirsty Merc (album)

The album included re-recorded versions of the songs "Katie Q," "Wasting Time," and "Emancipate Myself."

"In the Summertime" is used as the theme to Channel 10 reality television program Bondi Rescue.

In August 2005 the album was re-released with two extra tracks, "When The Weather Is Fine" which was also released as a single, and an alternate version of "Someday, Someday" and also a secret track "Joelene".

The album includes both of the group's singles from the First Work EP, "Wasting Time" and "Emancipate Myself" however, at the advice of producer Lindsay Gravina, both were re-recorded for the album release (which Gravina had previously also suggested for Australian punkabilly-rock band The Living End to do with their hits "Prisoners of Society" and "Second Solution" when producing their debut album also).

In 2005, the album was repackaged with the new song "When the Weather is Fine," which was also then released as a single.
