Hi Ryp
I'm from Perth and I can remember this album coming out in the 80s!! It was really strange for 96FM to release this as they were (still are) a heavily commercial station and all of the acts on this album were (mostly) unknown and/or unsigned acts from Western Australia ... you had to listen to the university stations in order to hear those bands ... anyway, it brings back a lot of memories ... some other great bands to come out of Perth were The Triffids (my favourite), INXS (started in Perth as The Farris Brothers), The Stems and of course, Tame Impala ... we're a long way from everywhere but we know a thing or two about music :-)

Hi,
I live in Essen, Germany, and in the early 80s I had a friend and Sqaush accomplice, Bruce Melville, who was from Perth and was doing an internship at a gas company in Essen. He taught me that music is also made in Australia, not just the Seekers and Easybeats and especially the Radio Birdmen... the Stems, the Saints, the Atlantics, etc. etc.
I love the breadth of American music and the hardness and humor of English music, which often comes together in Australian music!
