While many Australasian bands from the 1980s remained cult acts outside of Australia, some, including Little River Band, AC/DC, INXS, Midnight Oil and, later, Crowded House and Kylie Minogue, found wide success for years. Others, like Men at Work, became one-hit wonders throughout most of the world. Acts like The Church, Hunters & Collectors Hoodoo Gurus and the second incarnation of The Saints developed strong followings in Europe and other regions, while other more commercial acts such as singer John Farnham were very successful for many years within Australia, but re ...

After recordings and moderate success in Australia (including hundreds of live shows) they headed for London in 1980, changing their name to the Birthday Party and launching into a period of innovative and aggressive music-making. They resided in London, with trips back to Australia and tours through Europe and the U.S. before relocating to West Berlin in 1982. Above the barely-controlled racket, Cave's vocals ranged from desperate to simply menacing and demented. Critics have written that "neither John Cale nor Alfred Hitchcoc ...

In the mid-1950s American rockabilly and rock and roll music was taken up by local musicians and it soon caught on with fans. A small independent Sydney label, Festival Records, led the charge, releasing Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock" in Australia in 1956 after it had been turned down by the local branch of Decca Records. It became the biggest-selling hit ever released in Australia up to that time, and its success led to Festival becoming the dominant Australian pop music label for the next fifteen years. Their commercial success was s ...

In the 1980s a second wave of anti-establishment and "DIY" bands came into their own in the UK and the United States, a genre known as Hardcore punk.

Early hardcore bands include Dead Kennedys, No Means No, Black Flag, Bad Brains, The Descendents and The Germs and the movement developed via Minor Threat, Flipper, The Dicks, Minutemen and Hüsker Dü, among others.

James rejoined temporarily for a few live appearances, some of which appear on 1989's Final Damnation. The Damned have remained active to the present, usually centered upon Vanian and Sensible. New releases appear every few years, while the band has spent most of the ten years between 1996 and 2005 doing periodic tours.

From the beginning of The Damned, Vanian had affected a vampire-like appearance onstage, with chalk-white makeup and formal dress. With the next album, The Black Album, the band turned into a proto-Goth ensemble, emphasizing Vanian's role over Sensible's clownish persona, with the rhythm section somewhat modifying their characteristic stoner-thug appearance. Ward had left at this point, to be replaced by the equally stoner-thuggish Paul Grey, formerly of the UK pre-punk band, Eddie and the Hot Rods. The medium remained (mostly) super- ...

The first ongoing music scene that was assigned the "punk" label appeared in New York in 1974-1976, centered around bands that played regularly at the clubs Max's Kansas City and CBGB, including The Ramones, Television, Blondie, Johnny Thunders (a former New York Doll) and the Heartbreakers, Richard Hell and The Voidoids and the Talking Heads. The "punk" title was applied to these groups by early 1976, when Punk Magazine first appeared, featuring these bands alongside articles on some of the immediate role models for the new groups, such as Lou Reed, who was on the cover of the first issue of Punk, ...

The punk phenomenon expressed a rejection of prevailing values in ways that extended beyond music. British punk fashion deliberately outraged propriety with the highly theatrical use of cosmetics and hairstyles: hair made to stand in spikes, cut into a "Mohawk" or another dramatic shape, and colored with vibrant unnatural hues. Punk clothing typically adapted existing objects for aesthetic effect: previously ripped clothes were held together by safety pins or wrapped with tape, written on with marker or defaced with paint; safety pins and ra ...

Punk rock emphasised simple musical structure and short songs, extolling a DIY ethic (the early UK punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue in 1977 famously included drawings of three chord shapes, captioned, "this is a chord, this is another, this is a third. Now form a band"). Punk bands often emulated the approach of sixties garage rock bands: typical instrumentation is drum kit, one or two electric guitars, electric bass, and vocals; songs are rarely over three minutes in length, often as brief as 90 seconds. Punk songs are almost always in 4/4 time an ...

Several groups rose from the Birthday Party's ashes: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (featuring Cave, Harvey and Bargeld), Crime and the City Solution (featuring Harvey and Howard, later just Harvey) and These Immortal Souls (featuring Howard). All of these bands shared a similar aesthetic, though perhaps they showed unequal deftness in expressing it. Due in part to their legendary status and to the continuing success of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Birthday Party's back catalogue has been re-released on CD several times. In recent years Mick Harvey ...
