In this episode, we explore the captivating story of Midnight Oil, one of Australia's most iconic and politically charged bands. From their early beginnings in Sydney in the late 1970s, we follow the band's rise to international fame with hits like "Beds are Burning" and "Blue Sky Mine". We delve into their unique sound, their strong environmental and social activism, and their impact on Australian culture and music. Through interviews with band members and music experts, we uncover the triumphs and challenges of their career, and the legacy they have left on the music industry and beyond.


"As we sing the songs night after night, there are lines that pop out which were written 35, 40, maybe even longer, which have more relevance now than when they were written. Even though we don't have any new material that we're playing at the moment, it's interesting how applicable a lot of the old songs are to what's happening in 2017." ~ Rob Hirst
