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

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.
