Junkee.com has posted The History Of Australian Indie Rock In 30 Essential Tracks. The list starts from 1988 but i’m going to pick up from 2005 which is around the time I started travelling and wasn’t paying as much attention to oz music as I should have. After three classics from that era, we debut ‘Streets of Florence’, a track Andy White and collaborators recorded in March and April swapping files from lockdown in Italy and Melbourne. Then it’s three tracks from the surprise LP from Apollo Ghosts titled Local Delivery Only, a selection of covers of the Ghosts’s favourite Vancouver artists and bands.
