Personal Note: This was my brother's influence on me. He bought the CD when it first came out and he thrashed it a fair bit. Only until I was at an acting school (yes, I could have been an actor) that I picked it up and cherished it again. Rockabilly and punk mostly but regarded as a modern-day Midnight Oil for its political lyrics (not music style of course.)
