- Escape from Rubbish Island is the fifth studio album by English rock band the Wonder Stuff. It was released on 27 September 2004, through the IRL record label. The band had broken up in 1994, had reformed in 2000 and had been playing shows sporadically over the next few years. Frontman Miles Hunt began making drum loops in his home studio, and his flatmate, former Radical Dance Faction member Mark McCarthy, added bass over them. An argument between Hunt and bandmate Martin Gilks resulted in the latter leaving, followed by violinist Martin Bell soon after. Hunt continued working on the tracks, recording at Vada Studios in 2004 with Matt Terry producing. The album saw a return to the band's rock sound of their early albums. Escape from Rubbish Island received generally favourable reviews from critics, some of whom commented on Hunt's lyrics. "Better Get Ready for a Fist Fight" reached number 95 in the UK Singles Chart. "Better Get Ready for a Fist Fight" was released as the lead single in January 2005, followed the next month by a joint release of "Bile Chant" and "Escape from Rubbish Island". To promote the album, the band embarked on tours of the United Kingdom and the United States. The US release of the album, which coincided with the tour in that territory, featured alternate mixes and additional guitar parts. (en)
