One of the later recordings, originally to be included on an EP of Sydney Little bands that never eventuated.

Fierce Atoms

Wild West was a Post-Punk band from Sydney, Australia, playing and recording during the years 1980-81. 

They took a leading role in the thriving underground artistic and musical scene of the inner city suburbs, centred on M Squared studios. Their sound contains a mix of experimental and melodic elements with a wide range of influences including the varied strains of Post-Punk, disco and pop. 

They recorded on three separate occasions but only released one critically acclaimed EP (“Beat The Drought”) and a track (“Pelican”) on the seminal M2 compilation “A Selection”.

In recent years their tracks have been included on the compilation CDs “Can’t Stop It” from Chapter Music and “Terrace Industry” from Ascension but the vast majority of their recordings have remained unheard. 

Continuing a long held independent path, they have finally assembled a release containing the majority of their studio recordings and a few live selections. 

“Scratch Another Day (Selected Recordings 1980-81)” is available via Bandcamp and CD Baby with other digital vendors to follow.
