About this ebook

The definitive book on Australian punk and post-punk music, long unavailable, now reissued in a much expanded new edition, over 400 pages with 175 photos.

Stranded offers the inside story of the emergence of the Saints, the Birthday Party, the Laughing Clowns, the Go-Betweens, Nick Cave, the Moodists, the Scientists, and many more great Australian bands, told by a writer who witnessed it all first-hand.

“One part stoned memoir, nine parts hard-boiled history, it walks the low road and back streets, charting along the way a near-forgotten period of Australian music from post-punk to grunge.” (Andrew Stafford)
