Heaven. Glorious heaven in the form of a 7'' single - thank you Ian Rilen (RIP). Released in 1979, absolutely seminal. Aussie punk rock never sounded so good (this is not the X from Los Angeles). What was to follow? Their album Aspirations. My original copy of that is almost unplayable (scratched and layered with spilt beer). It has been re-issued but this single (B-Side 'Waiting') is just waiting for you to do a download.
Then, get out there and chase down all their other releases - most probably only in CD form.
There is an interesting side project that Ian Rilen dabbled in - Sardine V. Essentially it was a pop/new wave band with his wife and assorted muso's (Barton Price, Johanna Piggott etc). They released a single ('Sudan') and EP ('I Hate You') which you will find in
Mr Wired and Wasted.
