In early 2003 Magic Dirt started recording its fourth album , '' Tough Love '' , at Birdland Studios in Melbourne , again produced by Lindsay Gravina . It was released in August and peaked at No . 15 . It carried on the band 's new slicker sound , although tracks like the epic " Brat " recalled the band 's early days . Originally , no commercial singles were to be released from the album . After the success of the radio-only singles " Vulcanella " and " Watch Out Boys " , Warner commercially issued " Plastic Loveless Letter " . It became the band 's biggest hit to date , reaching No . 16 on the ARIA Singles Chart . '' Tough Love '' was nominated at the ARIA Music Awards of 2003 for ' Best Rock Album ' . It was re-issued in 2004 as two disc set containing their '' Live at the Wireless '' session on Triple J in 2003
