Source-derived summary

50 Push Ups for a Dollar is a five-track extended play by Australian surf music and garage rock band Skegss, released on 16 October 2015. It provided two singles, "Fun" (July 2015) and "Eat It" (October). The EP's cover art was designed by Jack Irvine of Space 44. In March 2016 United States hip hop collaborators Reese x Lil Yachty released a single, "Do It". That single's cover art was described by Irvine, "they have just straight up taken the artwork, erased 'Skegss' and put their song title and not even changed anything else. And also, it's a horrible Photoshop edit looks like it was done in Microsoft Paint." The EP was re-released in October 2020 with the lead track from their 2014 single, "L.S.D.", added. It peaked at number 4 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Background

Skegss formed as a four-piece surf music and garage rock band in Byron Bay in early 2014. They released their debut single, "L.S.D." (a.k.a. "Live Sleep Die"), in mid-year.
