CD/ Laughing outlaw records

Australiens punk och postpunkscen 1975 – 84. Redan 1982 kom boken ”Inner city sound” om den Australiska punkscenen, och här är nu cd’n med de obskyra inspelningarna från ”gör det själv generationen” down under! Allt håller inte hög klass, och postpunken ligger mig inte lika varm om hjärtat som den tidiga 70-tals punken. Men här finns några pärlor som får mig att minnas en tid för allt för länge sedan. Leftovers med ”I only panic when there´s nothing to do”, Last Word med ”Animal word”och Razar med ”Task force” är klassiker. Givetvis finns legendariska The Saints med, precis som The Triffids, Hunters & Collectors, Boys next door (Nick Cave), New Christs och Go Beteweens för att nämna några. I konvolutet finns en fantastisk tidskarta över banden och medlemmarnas historik.
