Dirty Jeans: The Rise of Australian Alternative Ro - Dirty Jeans: The Rise of Australian Alternative Ro

2014 collection of Australian Alt-Rock gems featuring 25 much-loved tracks spanning 1988-2002, DIRTY JEANS looks at the build-up and subsequent explosion of Alternative Rock in Australia - when the underground went over ground. Kicking off with the iconic "My Pal" by Melbourne teens GOD and closing with the young Australia n group that thrilled the world in the early 00's, the Vines, DIRTY JEANS charts the march from indie to mainstream. It explores both obvious and less well known contributors, including You Am I, Powderfinger, Magic Dirt, Spiderbait, the Living End, the Meanies, Silverchair, the Mark of Cain, Grinspoon, Something for Kate, Powder Monkeys, Jebediah, Screamfeeder, Frenzal Rhomb, Beasts of Bourbon, Ammonia and many others. Featuring liner notes from Magic Dirt's Adalita and Au-go-go Records founder Bruce Milne, and artwork from by '90s poster artists Devils Candy, DIRTY JEANS captures the music that changed Australian music for ever.
