Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating heavily in the shadows of The Stooges and MC5, Sydney's Radio Birdman practically kickstarted the Australian independent punk scene with this blistering debut. Featuring Deniz Tek's incredibly powerful, surf-inflected riffing, 'Radios Appear' is a fiercely energetic, delightfully raw explosion of aggressive garage-punk that brims with sweaty, urban rock-and-roll heat.
