AUSTRALIAN PUNK & POST PUNK

VA - Inner City Sound, Australian Punk And Post Punk [2005] CD1+CD2

Compiled and released by Laughing Outlaw in 2005, Inner City Sound is a 2CD set stand-alone companion piece to the cult book of the same name. Produced and annotated by Clinton Walker. For people who were there, somewhere between 1975 and 1984, or those who have rediscovered this era of great music.

This CD contains great Australian indie/alternative music that was either financed by the bands themselves or by some of the groundbreaking, risk taking small record businesses of this time. Inner City Sound describes the years 1976-1981 of punk/post-punk music in Australia. The Inner City Sound is a distinct movement towards an Australian rock of its own invention and identity.” (Clinton Walker, from his book of the same name, originally published by Wild & Woolley Pty Ltd 1982.)

Inner City Sound provides proof positive that Australia contributed as much as anyone to the D-I-Y revolution of the late 70's, early 80's. Over forty tracks, restored to glory, that still ring fresh and true, a mix of classics and rarities, many appearing on CD for the first time. Bristling with urgency and originality, this is an instant classic twenty years in the making.  (laughingoutlaw.com.au)
