»Assault & Battery« is the second studio album by Australian hard rock band Rose Tattoo, released in 1981. Like the first album, it was produced by the famous team Vanda & Young. The Tatts play an unparalleled street-level heavy blues with an emphasis on slide guitar and shrill lyrics. After years of touring Australia, Europe and America, opening for ZZ Top and Aerosmith, the band began writing and recording their second studio album, »Assault & Battery«. It contains fan favorites: "Out Of This Place" & "Rock 'n' Roll Is King" & "Suicide City." The album is known for its »hard-hitting«, prisonless approach, which is described as a mix of AC/DC's power chord style with a faster, punky intensity. » "Assault & Battery" is available in a limited, numbered edition of 1,000 copies on White & Black Swirled Vinyl.
