F.S.O.
"F.S.O." (abbreviation of Fuck Shit Off) is a song by Australian rock band Regurgitator. The song was released in February 1996 as the band's first commercially released single and first single from the band's debut studio album '' Tu-Plang''. The single peaked at number 51 in Australia. Ben Ely said, "Quan wrote this about his sister-in-law and how she got married to this guy who turned out to be a brute and was violent with her. This song is his anger at the situation. I love how it sounds like an angry song, though it's a song about not tolerating someone else's anger." Quan Yeomans said, "I was never particularly thrilled with my vocals on this one, but it has a punk urgency and ugliness about it that is apt for the idea behind it."

Records branched out and WEA was born. The first country in which it was established was Canada, with the second being Australia. The Australian operation was begun in July 1970, by Paul Turner with five staff members. The official opening was held at Menzies Hotel, Sydney, on 1 October 1970. The company was then based in Riley Street, Darlinghurst, and had three major labels, Warner Bros. Records, Elektra Records, and Atlantic Records. A year later Warner Bros. Records worldwide (including Australia) changed its name to Kinney Music.

For the first two years, the Australian Record Company (ARC), now known as Sony Music, handled the Australian distribution. Turner's bud ...
