On the face of it, Perth seems like a respectable, middle-class city, where people love the beaches, the Sunday sessions, and the cover bands. But scratch away a little bit and you’ll find an underbelly of great punk music. Starting from the ‘70s, Perth has influenced and been influenced by others, and has chucked out some of the greatest punk tunes and punk bands. Punk West is an oral history of Perth’s punk scene. David Redding (Burn the Airwaves) talks to the scene’s stalwarts, stand-outs, and elder states(wo)men about the gigs, the bands, the venues, and the sounds.
