Sound as Ever

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The 90s was a magical time for Australian music. Record labels had money to spend, the Big Day Out and Triple J went national and suddenly everyone was getting a 3-piece together and gigging in the inner-city pubs of their town.

Sound as Ever is a celebration and a documentation of this fertile period with never-before-seen photos and archives from the time and never before told stories about the songs, bands, festivals and break-ups from the artists and industry folk who were there.

Featuring contributions from Tim Rogers (You Am I), Adalita (Magic Dirt), David McCormack (Custard), Kram (Spiderbait), Richie Lewis (Tumbleweed), Ray Ahn (Hard-Ons), Suzie Higgie (Falling Joys) plus many more, as well as details behind some of the biggest indie hits of the decade, Sound as Ever is a must-have for every Australian music fan.
