@LastofmyKind_ Not sure how many of those groups were about from 1976- 1981? When I was out there in Brisbane I saw a group called "The Lazy Sods" who had an English drummer, that was back in 1995. I know there is still a minority following of Punk in Aussie, with young kids starting garage bands, but my experience with a lot of Aussie groups is that they mainly do cover songs, very few write their own material like 'No FX' for example :) Thanks for the info, I will do a bit of research on those listed and have a listen. Didn't mean to offend my antipodean cousins :) Not sure if that helps SEAN who posted the original question, tho?
