The bands that spearheaded the late 1970s punk scene in Australia-the Saints, Birthday Party, Radio Birdman, and the Go-Betweens-are among the most important of their time. Inner City Sound is the classic account of the explosive development of that scene. Original articles from fanzines and newspapers, together with almost 300 photographs, vividly portray the creative ferment of the period and the dozens of bands that sprang up in the wake of the pioneers. First published in late 1981, Inner City Sound soon fell out of print. It became a lost classic, so sought after that it has been bootlegged like the rare singles listed in its discography. This new edition contains 32 extra pages of articles, photos, and discographic data, which take the story through to 1985, when Nick Cave, the Go-Betweens, the Triffids, and others began to break through internationally.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Clinton Walker is a Sydney-based writer the Sun-Herald has called 'our best chronicler of Australian grass-roots culture.' Born in rural Victoria in 1957, he published his own fanzines in the late '70s and established a colourful reputation in the '80s freelancing for newspapers and magazines such as RAM, Rolling Stone, Roadrunner, The Age, Stiletto, and The Bulletin. He has since published ten books, worked extensively for television, for example as co-writer and principal interviewer on ABC-TV's hit 2001 Oz-rockumentary series Long Way to the Top, and compiled and annotated a score of anthology CDs. www.clintonwalker.com.au
