“Israel's Son” is the 1995 third single released from their debut full-length album Frogstomp, which was released earlier the same year. The track was inspired by a TV documentary about wartime atrocities and seeks to criticise violence and war by portraying them in all their horror. The EP Israel's Son also includes three live tracks, “Blind”, “Leave Me Out” and “Undecided”, which were recorded at the Big Day Out festival in Melbourne.

The EP Israel's Son is available on vinyl for the first time and is part of the Silverchair Collection, presented by Music On Vinyl. Israel's Son is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on smoke coloured vinyl and includes an insert with other titles from the Silverchair Collection.
