With appeal to more than just punk history obsessives, Tristan Clark's Orstralia offers an unprecedented exploration of a largely unseen segment of Australian life and history. Far from punk's more modish North Atlantic core in the late 1970s, discontented youth in Australia were enacting similar musical and cultural reckonings. More subterranean than the national scandal that was punk back in "homeland" Britain, Australia's bands nonetheless drew International notice. Orstralia represents the first definitive account of the country's initial years, from progenitors the Saints and Radio Birdman in the mid-70s, through the emergence of hardcore in the 1980s, to the stylistic diffusion as the decade progressed. Based on over 130 interviews, Orstralia documents the most renowned to the most fleeting and obscure acts the nation produced. Included are equally engrossing and shocking personal narratives befitting such a passionate and intemperate cultural form, as well as punk's placement within broader Australian society at the time.
