Of Interest: Press Release

New York, London, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, 1977 this is what pops into most people's heads when the subject of 'Punk Rock' is brought up. First you have these, then you have rock as we know it now, with Nirvana and Seattle somewhere in between. If only anything was that simple!

Take for instance Perth, Western Australia a place known for being the most isolated capital city in the world as much as it is for anything else. In the late 70's Perth actually had a thriving punk rock scene of its own, developing independently of what was going on elsewhere in the country. From that scene was spawned The Scientists. With their swamp rock / proto-grunge formula, they travelled to Sydney then London, insidiously infecting others as they went.

Before their odyssey, The Scientists had a previous, almost separate life, in Perth. Back then it was a time of donning your school trousers, parting your neatly shorn hair to one side and rushing down to your record store to shell out your student allowance on all the OMD, Human League and PIL you could lay your hands on. Not for The Scientists (baby)! These boys wanted to ROCK! To them punk had come to bury music as people knew it
