The Living End is the self-titled debut studio album by Australian punk/rockabilly band The Living End. It was recorded at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne, Australia. The cover art, as described by frontman Chris Cheney, is taken from a photograph of the inside of a World War I all-female bomb factory.
The Living End achieved mainstream success with one of the singles "Prisoner of Society", and supported The Offspring on the Americana tour. ARIA publicised that The Living End had officially achieved 5x Platinum status in Australia in November 2007. It is still to date the band's most successful release. In October 2010, The Living End, was listed in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums.
The 6th track "Monday" is the band's epitaph to the 1996 Dunblane massacre.
