Anything Rowland S. Howard touched is golden. I love These Immortal Souls and his solo albums to bits.
Amazing!
A few interesting additions to my rock'n'roll playlist, thank you! In the late 80s, my first contact with Aussie rock, other than AC/DC, were The Celibate Rifles. Another fantastic band from Down Under.
As an Australian expat living in Sweden this was really great to see. My favorite Australian bands include Something For Kate, Mindsnare, Outright and High Tension! I always felt spoiled for local music growing up in Melbourne. I remember seeing you and The International Noise Conspiracy play with The Nation Blue in Melbourne, that was a great lineup! Thanks for putting this together!
I"m into all sorts of music, but the Aussies have the best grind scene of 'em all!
Ah. That’s cool. Didn’t know that. Need to check out.
TISM, just throwing it out there ;)
I was waiting for X to come up, great band (discovered by chance thanks to the other X) and awesome record, I always wanted to make a cover of simulated lovers! My favorite band from Australia has to be Total Control, they're just incredible. Hope to see them live one day 🤞
Hey Dennis I love you, just wanted to say though, the Australian state here where the Hard Ons were formed isn’t South Wales, it’s actually New South Wales - (geography lesson here 😂) so Sydney is the capital city of this state. In particular, The Hard Ons were formed in a south-western suburb of Sydney called Punchbowl…it’s a weird name for a place, I know, I grew up not far from there. The Hard Ons was my first gig ever in 1992 when I was 12 ❤
Blackie aka Peter Black, their guitarist still plays his own low key shows too - my husband has a show coming up with him in the next few weeks here in Sydney. Blackie also does some personal training these days too - he’s in great shape. Sending love from The Land Down Under 🪃🦘🐨🐊🇦🇺❤
Thanks for the geography lesson.
The Hard Ons were and are still such a great band.
As an Aussie this video makes me so happy ❤🇦🇺🇸🇪
I love Australian X. I have Aspirations ans Spurts ( 77 Recordings). Scientists are great. Numero Group released great box set from them. Feedtime is also great. Bass driven punk which reminds me sometimes of Flipper which is my top 5 band. I saw Hard Ons here in Finland at early 90's. Great band. Birthday Party is as violent as they come. Jesus Lizard comes close. To me Nick Cave is just as good and important as Bob Dylan. When I saw Nick Cave in Roskilde twice in 90's it was wild. I have seen them 4 times after that and every time I feel I am witnessing something really important. Sorry I meant to write that I enjoy your videos and have your albums and I am babbling on. Cheers from Finland!
Thanks. And yes, Cave is pretty damn fantastic.
Great episode and dive into Australian punk/underground. I hope you have more time to jump onto stuff like The Moodists and Slugfuckers, Loop Orchestra, Xero. Matrimony and King Snake Roost. Another episode!
Thanks. There’s some name that I need to check out there.
These videos are full of information and love for music, keep it up and greetings from Italy!
Hell yeah for The Victims! Well done.
Hard Ons are so important. Best ever!
Yes. They are fantastic.
Great episode Dennis! Ray and Blackie's other band, Nunchukka Superfly are fucken awesome. Canine from Sydney play mad fast hardcore and thrash with slow riffing bits and are rad. The Necks are an instrumental improvisational three-piece of piano, bass, drums, and are sublime.
Thanks. I need to dig deeper into Australia I hear. Thanks for the tips.
Love your videos, Dennis! 90% of who you talk about are new introductions to me. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you. I will keep them coming if you keep watching!!
As you said there is an undercurrent of violence in Australian rock and roll which it seems is more pronounced than from other countries. It's true that during that era people did not know what to do with female singers. I can think of only 3 or 4 and most were marketed as "songbirds": pretty girls with pretty voices but not taken as seriously as the men. Pop singers like Marsha Hines, Olivia Newton-John, Kylie Minogue, and Tina Arena. There were a few others who emerged from the pub rock scene but they didn't get the sort of support that all-male line-ups did. I think it might have been because their female fans weren't as motivated to attend shows in dirty, stinking pubs full of badly behaved men and rough surly bouncers. A frankly mysoginist environment.
good stuff
Thanks for checking it out. What should I talk about if I ever do a follow up?
@@Dennisdeepcuts ha so much!! maybe some of the great current under the radar stuff i reckon you'll dig like DEAD , Civic , White Dog , Rivers of Snakes , Raising Ravens .. nice rabbit holes to fall into :-) love your passion \\m//
@@peterblack4847 yes. I’ll check all of that out. Thanks for the tips.
What can I say. Love music.
Another great video! I'm not super familiar with Aussie music but I've discovered Ecca Vandal because you did a feature on her album and I think she's great!
Aussie music is amazing. Tons more stuff that I could and should talk about.
Ecco Vandal is rad!!
big up for Hunters & Collectors!! Love those three first albums
Yeah. They are great.
When I was 15 years old Def Leppard was my most favourite band. Hysteria was on my turntable on heavy rotation and when I was seeking more of this sound I‘ve discovered the australian band BB Steal and their debut On the Edge from 1991! The songs are awesome and some of them were even produced by Phil Collen of Def Leppard. Nowadays my son even likes BB Steal more and I‘ve had to make him customized backpatch for his battle vest! Also his first vinyl record is an australian band called Bengal Tigers with their debut Metal Fetish 🤘
Never heard of BB steal. I will have to ask my aussie friends about them.
No Scientists? 😢
Also - The Apartments' Return of the Hypnotist is my favourite Aussie 7''!
Love the scientist. Maybe next time.
Will check out that 7"! Thanks!
The Celibate Rifles 🇦🇺 please Dennis.
Next time for sure. Great band!
Fan va bra !👍😜
Love all the bands mentioned, and many more- I suspect the "macho" element you detect comes from the mining towns- a very, very rough crowd. As far as my favorite Australian band? Well, I say, rather sheepishly- although I love loads of underground, experimental, and arty bands- my favorite is You Am I. I know, I know- as generic as possible. Why not just say "AC/DC"- well, it's the tunes. When Tim Rogers sets his mind to it, he writes songs that seem to be as witty, and true as Paul Weller, and as drunkenly heartfelt as Paul Westerberg. That the band is as accessible, and popular as they are doesn't erase those songs. I mean, I love Aussie bands from Grong Grong to feedtime to Rupture to The Amity Affliction to Nothing Sacred- But, I also love a good, solid tune....
Grong grong and feedtime was considered so they might make the next list.
I have a feeling that the roughness is everywhere though. Not only blokes from the mining towns.
Fuck yeah to ending with the Cosmic Psychos. If you have not seen their doco #BlokesYouCanTrust... do yourself a favour. The whole Seattle scene loved them.
my favourite Aussie band would have to be TISM
You are not the first to mention them. 😀
They are not that underground or punk, but you should definitely check Camp Cope, great singer and great bass lines.
I'll check em out for sure.
