The Stems came roaring out of Perth in the mid Eighties with a sound and style that definitively captured the spirit and enthusiasm of sixties garage music!

Though at the core of it all, The Stems wrote some awesome songs, made great records and put on exciting live shows.

The Stems are Richard Lane - keyboards, guitar and vocals: Dom Mariani - guitar and lead vocals: Julian Matthews – bass: Gary Chambers - drums

They debuted in 1985 with their single She’s a Monster/ Make You Mine and rode the top of the Australian Independent charts from 1985-1987 with each subsequent release.

Mushroom Soup - The Citadel Years has been remastered and repackaged and brings together the band's break-through singles, their debut EP Love Will Grow and a selection of demos and outtakes.
