Australian punk rock veterans Bodyjar have reissued their breakout Time to Grow Up EP, originally released in 1994. The reissue, out now via Pile of Sand, revives a foundational moment in the band’s legacy—marking their transition from local Melbourne scene staples to internationally recognized punk rockers.
Originally recorded at Sing Sing Studios, the EP captures Bodyjar’s early sound: melodic, fast-paced, and sharp-edged. Tracks like “Time to Grow Up,” “Gee and Al,” and “Do Not Do” blend classic skate-punk urgency with a raw, unpolished energy that still holds weight today.
The 2025 reissue brings these five tracks back with fresh remastering, plus bonus material from the same recording sessions. It’s a vital release for fans tracing the roots of Australia’s punk rock sound and Bodyjar’s evolution toward landmark albums like How It Works and Plastic Skies.
This EP is more than nostalgia—it’s a reminder of how far Bodyjar has come and how much punk rock still thrives in its purest form.
