Blue Sky Mining

Midnight Oil

Polished stadium rock meets fierce environmental protest. Shimmering guitars and harmonica cut through a landscape of desert-dry rhythms and soaring vocal anthems.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate protest record that you can actually sing along to in the car.

A powerful blend of righteous indignation and widescreen melodic beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The industrial clatter and sharp harmonica blast that opens Blue Sky Mine.
The transition from the sparse, atmospheric verses to the soaring, string-laden chorus of Bedlam Bridge.
The way the rhythm section locks into a relentless, driving groove on King of the Mountain.
