The Aussie punk band X put out an album entitled "Aspirations" in 1979 after a couple years playing around Sydney. It took me about two decades to hear this record, probably due in no small part to existence of the band X that most people know from Los Angeles. Don't get me wrong here, but X (L.A.) are a fantastic band that may get their own post here someday but the album from the aussie X is much more compelling to me than anything their L.A. counterparts ever did. The album is spastic, anthemic, catchy and it rocks with a raw energy that X (L.A.) only achieved live.
I had a hard time picking which song to put up here, so many of them are worthy. So decided to put up "I Don't Wanna Go Out" because it was the first song i ever heard by them.
The album has been reissued but still hard to locate try here.
You will not be disappointed.
