Species Deceases

Midnight Oil

Four tracks of high-voltage Australian post-punk. Jagged guitars and explosive drumming capture the frantic anxiety of the mid-80s nuclear age.

Find on Amazon

It's four tracks of pure, caffeinated protest rock that sounds like a panic attack you can dance to.

A high-velocity collision of political fury and mid-80s existential anxiety.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, mechanical snare crack that drives the opening of Progress like a factory assembly line.
Peter Garrett's vocal delivery on Pictures shifting from a desperate whisper to a full-throated roar of frustration.
The dissonant, jagged guitar interplay in Blossom and Blood that feels like it might collapse under its own tension.
