Between a Rock and a Hard Place was the final studio album from Australian rock band Australian Crawl.[1] It was produced by English producer Adam Kidron (Ian Dury, Cabaret Voltaire, Aztec Camera).[1]

Disappointed with sales, the band was ready to split but had to go out on tour for the next year to pay off the enormous $400,000 cost of producing the album.[2]
