Radios Appear, 1979

I'd never heard of this influential Australian punk band. In this song the narrator is driving around the mean streets of an unidentified city (although he mentions a Woodward). He's looking for some action. He's bored with "the seventies stasis," which probably echoes how the band felt about the state of music at that point. It's got a Springsteen feel, lyrically if not musically. "Hanging on the edge of my self control / Looking in the mirror for the highway patrol."
