Aussie Punk
À propos de Aussie Punk
The Brisbane and Sydney punk scenes that ran parallel to (and in The Saints' case, slightly preceded) the UK and US punk explosion of 1976-77. The Saints recorded I'm Stranded in Brisbane in mid-1976, months before the Sex Pistols' first single; Radio Birdman's Sydney scene built on Detroit's Stooges/MC5 lineage. Both bands shaped the next generation of US underground rock, with R.E.M. and Sonic Youth citing The Saints as a direct influence.
