Hi. I do a bit of posting over at !punk@lemmy.world and happened upon this lovely article. Please add commentary if you were involved in the scene for some first hand context or just to say g’day.

Thanks for posting, that's a great article!!! I'm not quite that old lol, but another band you should check out are the Celibate Rifles... They started around 1979/1980, and played live right up until around 2018 (sadly, their singer Damian Lovelock died in 2019... He was also part of the soccer broadcast team on SBS) Anyhoo.... Celibate Rifles were awesome... Lots of their stuff on YouTube

Hey thank you!

Great find. Keen to get my ears around some of this. A four part punk series has just started on Patternradio.net, hosted by. Mark Hepworth. The first episode starts in the late fifties and goes up to the mid 70's. It was a great listen, I restreamed on Mixcloud if that's your kinda thing.

Oh, and they didn't ignore Australia.

Thank you. I should probably look around for more audio history and podcast type things.

Thanks! I do a bit/a lot of posting on !alternativenation@lemmy.world and I posted (I'm) Stranded previously. Trying to post a good amount of Australian old and new stuff. The world needs to know!

Jeez that community looks way more active. Awesome. I should post something there.
