New Christs, The – The Burning of Rome: Selected Works [Import. Green Noise USA exclusive] – New LPAmazing collection! When I first saw this laid out as a double album, I thought why not just distill it down to a brilliant 2 sider?, but once I gave it a listen it's perfect. It's amazing how this music spans decades and features a variety of great musicians backing frontman Rob Younger (Radio Birdman), and yet sounds so cohesive, the changes in time and moods and membership just helping keep it interesting and exciting, and it all sounds like one

Rob Younger—best known as the voice of Radio Birdman and a defining figure of the Australian underground—formed The New Christs in the early 1980s as an outlet for his darker, more intense musical visions. Over the years, the band has become an essential part of the global rock'n'roll landscape, blending raw garage energy with post-punk menace, sophisticated songwriting and a ferocious live presence. Changes in the lineup feature some of the finest musicians from bands like the Celibate Rifles, Lime Spiders, The Barracudas and Hoodoo Gurus, and the band has maintained an unmistakable identity—one defined by urgency, grit and uncompromising quality.
The Burning of Rome: Selected Works doesn’t settle for the easy picks. Instead, it offers a deeper, more comprehensive look at The New Christs’ sonic universe, drawing from every corner of their discography—from their feral 1981 debut single “Face a New God” to highlights from their later studio albums: Distemper (1989), Lower Yourself (1997), We Got This! (2002), Gloria (2009) and Incantations (2014). The twenty tracks compiled here paint a vivid portrait of a band that, while never prolific, has never missed a beat.
The collection opens with the thunderous distortion of “We Have Landed,” taken from the 1997 album Lower Yourself—an album that showcases the band at their most focused and dangerous. From there, the listener is plunged into a world of tense guitars, pounding rhythms and Younger’s unmistakable vocal presence. There’s the propulsive energy of “Another Sin,” featuring blistering guitar work by Charlie Owen; the haunting, late-night feel of “Golden Street”; the sunlit drive of “Spit It Out”; and the fiery swagger of “On Top of Me.” And of course, the epic title track—“The Burning of Rome”—is a standout moment, embodying the band’s signature mix of intensity and elegance.
Crucially, this isn’t just a nostalgic retrospective of their 1980s classics—although gems like “Born Out of Time” and “Coming Apart” are included—it’s a celebration of the full arc of The New Christs’ career. It shines a light on lesser-known tracks that deserve far more recognition and proves, once again, that this band has been producing vital, hard-hitting rock music for over four decades.
With their European tour about to begin, there’s never been a better time to rediscover or dive into the world of The New Christs. The Burning of Rome: Selected Works is more than a compilation—it’s a testimony to a band that has consistently operated outside of trends and time, fueled by passion, precision and power. Essential listening for fans of Australian underground music, and anyone who understands that some of the most important stories in music history are the ones still burning just below the surface.

The perfect teething toy for a puppy of any size - apparently indestructible!
Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone, Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone
I ordered this product for an overly excitable, destructive corgi chihuahua mix puppy, who was teething. He was a foster and managed to destroy, almost immediately, every toy I had on-hand for him, and toys I picked up at the local pet store. I was very concerned he'd swallow parts of toys, which can lead to fatal intestinal blockages, not to mention extremely high vet bills which I couldn't cover as a simple foster mom. When it arrived, I crossed my fingers that the "Seam Protection - doubled-stitched seams with heavy duty thread" would actually add "extra durability." And I was NOT disappointed! The bone shape of the toy would probably fit comfortably in the mouth of any dog or puppy, as you can see from photo #4. What's coolest about the shape of this toy is the pup can sink all of his or her teeth into it, providing comfort for the entire mouth and not just a few teeth or only one section of its mouth at a time. I was much more experienced as a kitten foster mom, and had had similar difficulties finding teething toys for kittens. This toy is thin and light weight enough that I imagine it could provide relief for little kitten mouths, also, but I didn't get to find out, as my little foster pup chose this as his #1 favorite toy and brought it with him to his forever home. I wanted to know how long it would take before he'd destroy it, though (picture 5 he'd had this Dura-Fused bone toy for a few hours short of one week, and the last photo - you'll see he'd not even undone a small portion of the seam!) Overall I would highly recommend this product for teething babies of almost any species. As far as I could tell it is indestructible. Almost seven days of constant gnawing and he'd not even taken one stitch out, created any tear or rip, let alone, gotten close to being able to swallow the squeaker (always a fear!). I imagine months later, he's still been unsuccessful at ripping/tearing this toy at all. I'd gladly buy again should I foster any dog or puppy - the company lives up to its moniker, Ethical Products, because they've produced a no-frills and apparently indestructible squeak toy which I'd have no fears of leaving with a teething puppy unsupervised. Highly recommended!

Good tug toy
Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever
I have a doberman that shready everything in 2.5 seconds. This lasted a few days so was impressed for the cost. Would buy again as he really liked it.

My dog’s new favorite
Size: 8 in, Color: Squirrel
didn’t expect much for the price but my dog actually loves this thing. It’s tough enough to hold up to regular chewing and the leather gives it a nice texture that’s different from the usual plush toys. He carries it around like it’s his prize. It’s not indestructible and if your dog is a heavy shredder it probably won’t last forever but for moderate chewers it holds up way better than a lot of toys I’ve tried. Definitely worth grabbing again.

Not for gnawers
Size: 11.5 in, Color: Bear
I was hoping this would work for my teenage ACD and save my leather goods from being chewed on.
He gnawed on it quietly I was thrilled. But I had to take it from him within a few minutes. Gnawing apparently equals chewing pieces off.
Not made for chewers or gnawers.
It seemed to be well made, was soft, was actually a fairly good size and didn’t get gross when it got spitty. Just didn’t work out for Captain chaos destructor of all.

Durable & Leather. For Small-Medium Dogs
Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever, Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever
This is a great dog toy! My Pomeranian is a small guy at only 8lbs. but he sure knows how to chew and he does it as often as he can. I was throwing out toy after toy because he was tearing them to pieces after only a half hour or so. After putting my money in the garbage so many times, I decided to search for toys that would hold up to his destructive mouth. I found a lot that claimed they wouldn't fall apart but they were all more than I wanted to spend. I came across this toy and a rabbit shaped one just like this. I bought both months ago and both are still in tact after all this time. Sure the edges are a little frayed but other than that, no damage whatsoever! I'm not sure what dura fused means but that seemed promising to me when I was reading the description, also the fact that they're leather made them seem more durable to me. Both have squeakers inside and some sort of stuffing as well. I throw all of my dogs toys in the laundry or hand wash them once a week, except for these. When these toys get wet with my dogs saliva, they look like they're not meant to get wet. Even without washing, these seem fine. This toy is probably about 9" long or so if I had to guess. In my opinion, it'd be perfect for a medium sized dog. It's a tiny bit big for my little guy but he manages just fine! If you're looking for a durable toy that your small to medium dog can chew on constantly, look no further!
