Show Notes
Punk Music in Australia Produced by Erin Dick and Paul Waxman Beyond the mohawks, piercings and raucous guitars, punk, in Australia, is an attitude. It’s a feeling, present in the disruption and discontent of political discourse. We want to challenge definitions, biases and preconceived ideas about what ‘punk’ was, is and will look like in the near future. Our audience will leave with a new impression of what ‘punk’ can sound like and represent, and how this ethos exists in Australia’s contemporary music scene.

Whilst a typical blues-rock song at its core, contextualised within the album and reflected against their other works, this song epitomises the genre-defying, innovative and often characteristically unique characteristics of the unorthodox musical group.
