Cosmic Psychos are an Australian punk rock band known for their stripped-back riffs, pounding rhythms and distinctly Australian sense of humour. Formed in Victoria in the early 1980s and led by bassist and vocalist Ross Knight, the band developed a raw combination of punk, garage rock and pub rock that earned them an international following. Their uncompromising sound also became an influence on musicians associated with the emerging Seattle grunge scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
At Heathen Records, we stock a growing selection of Cosmic Psychos vinyl records in Australia, covering classic releases and later additions to their long-running catalogue. Whether you're exploring Australian punk history or already know the band's blunt, riff-heavy sound, this page features Cosmic Psychos LPs available on vinyl.
Cosmic Psychos have built a catalogue stretching from Down on the Farm and their self-titled debut through Go the Hack, Blokes You Can Trust, Cum the Raw Prawn and 2025's I Really Like Beer. Tracks such as Lost Cause, Pub, Dead Roo and Nice Day to Go to the Pub capture the direct guitars, humour and no-frills attitude that have made the band a cult fixture of Australian punk and underground rock.
Essential Cosmic Psychos Albums on Vinyl
Cosmic Psychos (1987) – The band's debut studio album established their characteristic combination of distorted guitar, heavy bass, pounding drums and deliberately straightforward songwriting. A key early document of the sound that would define Cosmic Psychos for decades.
Go the Hack (1989) – An essential early Cosmic Psychos record featuring Lost Cause, Rip 'N' Dig, She's Crackin' Up and Pub. Its raw production and repetitive, heavy riffs helped the band's music find an audience well beyond Australia's underground punk scene.
Blokes You Can Trust (1991) – Produced by Butch Vig, this album features Back at School, Dead Roo, I'm Up You're Out and Loser. Recorded during the period when the band's reputation was spreading through the American alternative underground, it remains an important part of their early catalogue.
I Really Like Beer (2025) – More than four decades after the band's beginnings, Cosmic Psychos returned with another characteristically direct set of Australian punk rock. Featuring I Like Beer, 10 Can Trip, Grunge Thief and This Could Be the Greatest Beer of My Life, the album retains the humour, heavy riffs and economy that have long defined their sound.
