Eccles explained to Pollyanna Sutton of The Canberra Times how the group’s sound had developed: “The change started when John Brewster left. He virtually ran the band and there were a lot of things we would have liked to have done with Two Minute Warning . Howling is the follow-up. We experimented with stuff then and different instruments and with this album we sealed it with new instruments and backing singers right up there. It really represents what the band is capable of.” It provided a cover version of the Animals’ hit, ” We Gotta Get out of This Place ” in January 1987 which, at No. 7, became the band’s highest-charting single in Australia. It peaked at No. 13 in New Zealand.
