    About this album

    Midnight Oil’s self-titled debut introduced the wiry, hard-edged rock that would make the band one of Australia’s most distinctive voices. Released in 1978, the album shows the group already balancing muscular guitar attack with tight rhythms and Peter Garrett’s urgent, confrontational delivery. Songs such as Powderworks and Run By Night point towards the sharper political and social focus that would define their later work, while the record’s raw energy places it firmly in the post-punk and alternative rock conversation. As an early statement of intent, Midnight Oil established the band’s restless sound and the straight-ahead intensity that became their calling card.
