One is a Scottish rock band who recorded two albums in the early 70's. The other is a currently active hardcore punk band from Brisbane, Australia. The below description refers to the Scottish rock band, Tear Gas.
Tear Gas produced two albums : Piggy Go Getter in 1970 and Tear Gas in 1971
The original Tear Gas line-up was Dave Batchelor (Vocals), Zal Cleminson (Guitar), Chris Glen (Bass)Eddie Campbell (Keyboards) and Wullie Monroe (Drums)
Originally known as Mustard. Their first vocalist Andy Mulvey had previously been with The Poets. However, he was soon replaced by David Batchelor and around the same time Gilson Lavis (their original drummer, who later played with Squeeze) was replaced by Richard Monro from Ritchie Blackmore's Mandrake Root. This line-up recorded Piggy Go Getter, which made little impact. In 1970 Hugh McKenna took over Batchelor's vocal role and Ted McKenna (ex-Dream Police) relieved Monro on drums. They recorded a second album and tried to establish themselves on the underground scene but were going nowhere with their brand of tired boogie heavy rock, until they teamed up with Alex Harvey in August 1972 to become The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
