Biography
1. The Herd is a hip-hop group from suburban Sydney. They have released four full-length albums since 2001’s self-titled debut. Unusually for a hip-hop outfit, The Herd’s full band format permits dynamic live shows.
The Herd’s members include MCs Ozi Batla, Urthboy and Berzerkatron, Unkle Ho (beats), Traksewt (piano accordion, clarinet and beats), Sulo (beats and guitar), Toe-Fu (guitar), Rok Poshtya (bass) and singer Jane Tyrrell. Their songs often feature politically-oriented lyrics.
Their first single to attract Triple J airplay was the superficially humorous ‘Scallops’ in 2001. Later tracks included ‘77%’ which featured the line “77% of Aussies are racist”, referring to the number of Australians announced in a survey that agreed with the Australian federal government’s response to the MV Tampa incident, and ‘Burn Down the Parliament’, which was to be interpreted metaphorically, but unfortunately was released the same week as the January 2003 Canberra bushfires.
77% scored well on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2003, coming in at #46.
The Herd released their third album “The Sun Never Sets” in 2005, featuring the single ‘We Can’t Hear You’. Their subjects ranged from their well-known anti-war stance and anti-corporatism to more personal topics like divorce and slow death of the Australian outback/country.
In October 2005, The Herd featured on Triple J’s ‘Like a Version’ (acoustic covers) segment. They performed their own version of the famous Australian song ‘A Walk in the Light Green’ by Redgum (better known as ‘I Was Only 19’).

The way wikipedia distinguishes them is "The Herd (UK band)" and "The Herd (Australian band)". ... Sadly Last.fm cannot do this because scrobbling relies on artist tags, which will say "The Herd" in both cases. Last.fm can't tell them apart, because it can't, if you think about it. We'll have to live with it. .. .. . .. Still, it gives us something to talk about. Maybe it will introduce us all to new music.

It's LastFM's fault for not solving the issue of multiple artists with the same name. Please submit more feedback to LastFM and stop making these absurd comparisons on bands' pages.. They're not even the same genre, forfuckssake.

If you want to listen to Peter Frampton, why not put the artist as Peter Frampton and the Herd.. Not that anyone really listens to it anyway.

so sad that the majority of shouts here are so close minded and selfish. i mean, you may not dig hip-hop but you certainly can't call these guys assholes.
