oh my god so not crap

when i was in my early 20s i heard a professor at my uni was into them, and emigrated from Scotland to Australia to see them a bunch. i tried them out and just didn't get it

and then a few years later, I heard "Before Hollywood" and it all clicked into place. right place, right time, right thing i needed to hear.

the quintessential aussie band, imo - the one I recommend to people who ask me "hey what's your all time fav Aussie band"

so, go at it

Surely someone on here must think they're crap.

Not me, though.

I did not know this. This makes me very happy.
