Crashland - Self Titled

Magic - pure magic.  Ash Wednesday (from the Metronomes) featured in this band.  They only released this self titled album then called it quits.  Wish they wouldn't have done that - so darn good.  There is an absolute killer version of 'My Favourite Things' (from The Sound of Music!) and Cherry Bomb (Runaways).  One of the great Aussie albums.

Released barely to a whimper and sunk like the titanic.  Don't know if you will be able to find a ceedee copy of this so all the best on that one.  You may have to settle for this download.

Metronomes - Multiple Choice

First album appears.  Boy 'O Boy - what an album it is.  Aussie classic.  No argument.

Metronomes - Saturday Night Sunday Morning 7''

Another single (they only released two) - equally as good.

Metronomes - A Circuit Like Me 7''

Totally infectious.  Electronic music merges with the punk ethos.  Perhaps it was always there.

Metronomes - Regular Guys

Second album that does not match up to the first.  Hey, we've heard that before.  But - it's good.  I like it.  So will you.

The Manikins - Early Singles

The Manikins released some essential Aussie pop/punk/rock singles.  My absolute favourite is their first single - 'Premonition'.  Pure brilliance.  The others tick every possible box.  Why was this band ignored?

Download 'Premonition' 7''
Download ' I Never Thought I'd Find ... ' 7''
Download 'Love At Second Sight' 7






 

The Manikins - Live Locally (Cassette)

First full length release from this Perth band.  It appeared as a cassette and basically featured a whole heap of songs they cut in the studio that 'did not contain any faults'.  Uh - huh, that's right - it's Live and Local.  One of the great Aussie cassette releases.  Hard to beat, this precedes the 'Last Gasp' release.
