48 year old who lives in California here, mid life crisis past a few years back, just took 6 months off work… and Australia Crawl for me is the greatest undiscovered band of all times. My new mission in life is to make sure everyone knows. I feel like I stumbled across the spark, the energy I need through this music to reinspire my life.

I recommend the Sirocco album and then.. everything else! While you are there, if you like the Aussie surf sound, check out Midnight Oils title album and Head Injuries album and maybe the Sunnyboys best of. I have to agree, the sophistication in Aussie Crawl songs is a real notch up over most pub music. Even still, there is a very rich vein of Aussie music from around 1975 to the present - when all music from ACDC, Oils, Radiators, Divinyls and Cold Chisel to INXS, Wa Wa Nee and Pseudo Echo was pub rock tested - if it didn't rock or swing you'd cop a beer can in the head (in my playing experience, if your music did rock, you'd have to play through the set twice and when your fingers were bleeding and you were 7 schooners down, a girl in leather would twist your arm and tell you to play another song or she'd break your f'n' arm - real story from 1990). Some would argue the peak was '78 to around '88, but I am sure many younger Aussies would beg to differ. The introducing of drink-driving laws in the mid-80's seemed to end the pub scene, which was the cauldron of our music then. It was partially replaced mind you with JJJ Radio's yearly 'Unearthed' competition which gave us Silverchair, and the festival scene (Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass etc). There is a whole catalogue out there

Australian Crawl were a great band. I loved their hits including Reckless, Boys Light Up, Downhearted etc but James Reyne's (Crawl's lead singer) song about heroin 'Hammerhead' still lingers in my mind. For another Aussie beach video classic check out Come Said The Boy by Mondo Rock. Australian music in the 1980s was simply amazing. We really took it for granted at the time. They were great days indeed. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hqllqa5-mJbdf5c.html

And yet, in spite of all that has happened in those 41 years, the songs are clear and fresh and so are all those memories....thank you Australian Crawl. Important and real.

The "apple isle" mentioned in the 1st verse is the nickname for Tasmania, which was the site of Australia's most notorious and inhumane convict settlement - also touched upon in the lyrics. It's also a bit of a running joke on the mainland that Tasmanian's are incestuous cousin-fuckers, hence the "inbred smile" which was mentioned........ The jargon and in-jokes are there coz Errol Flynn was born in Tasmania [in 1909], which would have been one of the most isolated, far flung, barely populated, backwards hick outposts in the English speaking world. He came a looooong way, did my boy Errol.

Actually, there were a couple of silent film stars in Hobart, so it was not unprecedented and in the case of one of the stars, her husband tried to get a film production site set up in Southern Tasmania, along the lines of Hollywood. A similar shift in Hollywood USA happened when tax issues affected film work in Florida, and they shifted to California, but you can still find the old TV and film studies in Florida's east coast in a much neglected state with the 50s TV studios used for TV with some classic films being done in the same "underwater " studios. History can turn on a dime.

Brother, We are all Aussies here. It's whn you yobbos try to distance yourselves from t new motley crue tht allows their cultures to thrive nd not assimilate with established Aussie culture not disseminate nd diluted by others because of lack of contact and association. We must live as normal Aussies so they can see t beauty of our simple but up nd get at them attitude of trying your best in any and every endeavor nd tht failure is only those tht give up not change jobs, careers or even footy teams. T Aussie identity is to 'give a fair go,' 'have a fair go,' 'get a fair go,' it's embedded in our psyche through t national anthem. Just carry on fellas, stand up for Whts right nd fair in God's name not human rights for there is t compromise of core values. God characterises individual refinement nd association; human right characterises mob rule mentality nd mass coercion. Wake up Australia; it's Advance Australia Fair (For t individual/ which is everybody/ not subversive to a political agenda tht advocates mass hysteria; pushing human rights but one can t have a personal opinion; wtf???)

@@krillinroshi6002 Australia was founded by people who were rejected by England, or who saw so little future for themselves there that they were willing to go the other side of the world. England has long called itself Christian but has so often not lived up to the name. English arrogance led to the death of millions of native people, including reducing the Indigenous population of Australia from 750,000 in 1788 to 150,000 in 1901.

I recommend the Sirocco album and then.. everything else! While you are there, if you like the Aussie surf sound, check out Midnight Oils title album and Head Injuries album and maybe the Sunnyboys best of. I have to agree, the sophistication in Aussie Crawl songs is a real notch up over most pub music. Even still, there is a very rich vein of Aussie music from around 1975 to the present - when all music from ACDC, Oils, Radiators, Divinyls and Cold Chisel to INXS, Wa Wa Nee and Pseudo Echo was pub rock tested - if it didn't rock or swing you'd cop a beer can in the head (in my playing experience, if your music did rock, you'd have to play through the set twice and when your fingers were bleeding and you were 7 schooners down, a girl in leather would twist your arm and tell you to play another song or she'd break your f'n' arm - real story from 1990). Some would argue the peak was '78 to around '88, but I am sure many younger Aussies would beg to differ. The introducing of drink-driving laws in the mid-80's seemed to end the pub scene, which was the cauldron of our music then. It was partially replaced mind you with JJJ Radio's yearly 'Unearthed' competition which gave us Silverchair, and the festival scene (Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass etc). There is a whole catalogue out there

Australian Crawl were a great band. I loved their hits including Reckless, Boys Light Up, Downhearted etc but James Reyne's (Crawl's lead singer) song about heroin 'Hammerhead' still lingers in my mind. For another Aussie beach video classic check out Come Said The Boy by Mondo Rock. Australian music in the 1980s was simply amazing. We really took it for granted at the time. They were great days indeed. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hqllqa5-mJbdf5c.html

Bought the album when it came out all those years ago...I still have the record; like an old friend or lover, it has aged well enough...the cover of the LP is like a "record" of the changes in a lifetime and the roads one travels, small cracks and lines on the cardboard; a map of distance and time ...when I play it I know that a little more sound is removed from the grooves and the sound changes a little through the years, the changes are small like the clicks and pops from the stylus; a sonic clock of great times in the past. And yet, in spite of all that has happened in those 41 years, the songs are clear and fresh and so are all those memories....thank you Australian Crawl. Important and real.

The "apple isle" mentioned in the 1st verse is the nickname for Tasmania, which was the site of Australia's most notorious and inhumane convict settlement - also touched upon in the lyrics. It's also a bit of a running joke on the mainland that Tasmanian's are incestuous cousin-fuckers, hence the "inbred smile" which was mentioned........ The jargon and in-jokes are there coz Errol Flynn was born in Tasmania [in 1909], which would have been one of the most isolated, far flung, barely populated, backwards hick outposts in the English speaking world. He came a looooong way, did my boy Errol.

Actually, there were a couple of silent film stars in Hobart, so it was not unprecedented and in the case of one of the stars, her husband tried to get a film production site set up in Southern Tasmania, along the lines of Hollywood. A similar shift in Hollywood USA happened when tax issues affected film work in Florida, and they shifted to California, but you can still find the old TV and film studies in Florida's east coast in a much neglected state with the 50s TV studios used for TV with some classic films being done in the same "underwater " studios. History can turn on a dime.

Just as well you put a word in for the sheilas mate or I rip your bloody arms off!
This filmclip is my early teens, this music, up to no good in Surfers and on that beach day and night, always on those slides at the end of Cavill ave, and we were always sneaking into the pool/sauna/spa's of some of those high rises particularly the Beachcomber which was our fav. We didn't have quite so many babes in the spa with us, but we had a few on occasion - Jesus, I miss the 80s!!!!!!!!
One of the best Guy's ever.
Rest in peace Guy 🌷

ROFL. Curiously, the song that gained popularity in Rio de Janeiro during my teenage years (thanks to Fluminense FM). Was found amusing that I ended up becoming an Aussie citizen later. But the best was getting in here when Peter Garrett was a polie and looking in shock at the TV and asking myself: WTF, the lead singer of Midnight Oil is an MP

James loved himself but Guy had the real persona and voice if you ask me. Aussie chicks in the 80s were really authentic, natural and beautiful. Who's here in 2018 ?
Great vid of the Goldie in early eighties. I moved into one of the buildings you can see in the surfing section from Melbourne in 87, still on coast 37 years later. Wouldn’t live anywhere else
Que maneiro ! Nas festas nos anos oitenta rolavam esses sons. A onda era tomar vinho com um monte de fruta misturada. Era bom demais.

Brother, We are all Aussies here. It's whn you yobbos try to distance yourselves from t new motley crue tht allows their cultures to thrive nd not assimilate with established Aussie culture not disseminate nd diluted by others because of lack of contact and association. We must live as normal Aussies so they can see t beauty of our simple but up nd get at them attitude of trying your best in any and every endeavor nd tht failure is only those tht give up not change jobs, careers or even footy teams. T Aussie identity is to 'give a fair go,' 'have a fair go,' 'get a fair go,' it's embedded in our psyche through t national anthem. Just carry on fellas, stand up for Whts right nd fair in God's name not human rights for there is t compromise of core values. God characterises individual refinement nd association; human right characterises mob rule mentality nd mass coercion. Wake up Australia; it's Advance Australia Fair (For t individual/ which is everybody/ not subversive to a political agenda tht advocates mass hysteria; pushing human rights but one can t have a personal opinion; wtf???) Protestant Christianity not corruptive Catholic deception! Open your Bibles fellow aussies; it's the only Book in all ENGLISH LITERATURE given the Title... The WORD OF GOD! NO OTHER! Yes it has come to this..

@@krillinroshi6002 Australia was founded by people who were rejected by England, or who saw so little future for themselves there that they were willing to go the other side of the world. England has long called itself Christian but has so often not lived up to the name. English arrogance led to the death of millions of native people, including reducing the Indigenous population of Australia from 750,000 in 1788 to 150,000 in 1901. We need to recognise that being Australian does not mean being merely a displaced Briton.
