Paul Pz yeah, I think yer right. All my favorite Aus. bands have an aggressive attack that makes listen to em feel like riding an epileptic race horse. Radio Birdman’s Radios Appear is just perfect. I the anthology reissue is here on KZbin. The silver cover one with Aloha, Steve and Dano first is DOPE!

[@VickiVampiressYT]

It's probably the air you people breathe over there, but for some reason these new Aussie punk rock bands are the best of their kind. Literally some of the best bands I've heard since all those bands from the 80s that all quit. It's such a breath of fresh air and so much fun to play yourself as well, if you play guitar. The Chats are sick. 🤘
