about

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".

This is a belated compilation of selected studio and live recordings
