About this album
Mug's Game is a sharp, slangy punk-new wave statement from Dave Warner's From The Suburbs. Released in 1978, it channels the energy of the era into satirical, suburban-centred songs that mix Australian humour with pointed social observation. The album’s title track and pieces such as Convict Streak, Campus Days and Suburban Boy show Warner’s gift for wordplay and character sketches, while the band’s lean rock backing keeps the performances direct and restless. As one of the more distinctive Australian releases to emerge from the punk and new wave moment, it helped define a proudly local voice within a rapidly changing scene.
