While the Saints are the best-known Aussie
punk band of the 70's, Radio Birdman was the band that got the punk scene
going in the land down under. From the start of listening to this
CD there is no way to confuse this band with what some misguided people
consider punk these days (Green Day, Blink-182) They have a straight ahead
old school style, which is to be expected since they hail from the 70's
era of punk. It's amazing that this band didn't make a bigger name
for themselves in the pioneering days of punk. They got the chops, the
tunes and the attitude that put bands like The Clash, Sex Pistols, and
Dead Kennedy's on the map. Well, die hard punk fans are getting a second
chance to discover this band with this new compilation from Subpop Records.
This CD marks the first time these songs were released to US fans in 20
years. Aside from the studio tracks there are three kickass
live songs included. If you are a punk fan, you should check these
guys out. If you are of the mindset that Blink-182 is a punk band, take
a listen to these guys, they will show you how it's really done so you
can then pull your head out of your ass and realize the difference between
pop and punk. Kudos to Sub Pop for making this collection available
to US fans.
