Desert Rat - Home from the Front

Only one LP from this Melbourne rock band. Released in 1978. They also put out a single 'Need Your Love/Reaching For The Sky' but these two tracks are on the LP.

Most of the members were previously in Buster Brown and later enlisted the help of Skeeta Pereira (from Finch). They crawled to a standstill after this LP with Stephen Lazaros then moving onto the Punk/Thrash rock band Depression (dubbing himself 'Smeer' - as you do).

Skunks - Scratch 'n' Sniff EP

1982 Adelaide Punk. Utterly impossible to now find a copy of this - you'll have to make do with the mp3 download. Only 500 copies made. Contentious at the time as it contained the song ' Dance With The Fuhrer (Adolf's Last Dance)'.

Best described as a raunchy blend of bootboy-pop and terrace stomping spikey-topped anthems - the perfect soundtrack for the Aussie Oi brigade. Apparently there should be footage out there of them performing their last gig in '82. Can anyone help out with that? The VHS footage was titled 'This Is The Old, This Is The New'.

On Youtube, there is footage of the band doing 'I Hate Disco'. That's about it though.

The Saints - One Two Three Four

Second and often overlooked release from The Saints (1977). It slots in between '(I'm) Stranded' and 'Perfect Day'. I bet few of you realised that this even existed.

Get into it now.

Pebbles Vol 1

1992 punk/psych/garage rock compilation. Obviously the 'Pebbles' (like 'Nuggets') dynasty started here - so, why not do likewise.

The Purveyors Of Pure Filth - Try This .... EP

My guess is that very few people out there have this - but many will want it. Only a mini album but the timing is ideal. Have you ever heard that word used to describe an album: 'Ideal'! Try this ....
