Assault and Battery is the second studio album by Australian hard rock band Rose Tattoo and was released in 1981. Like the first album it was produced by the famous Vanda and Young team. The Tatts play peerless, street-level heavy blues with the emphasis on slide guitar and strident lyric statements. After years of touring in Australia, Europe and America opening up for acts like ZZ Top and Aerosmith, the band started writing/recording their second studio album, Assault and Battery. It includes fan favourites: "Out Of This Place" and "Rock n Roll Is King" and "Suicide City" The album is noted for its "hard as nails," no-prisoners approach, described as a mix of AC/DC's power-chord style with a faster, punk-infused intensity.
