For all the internationals visiting Under the Radar, as I'm sure most of the locals already know, tomorrow, January 26 is Australia Day. for most people what this day involves is slapping on some zinc, thongs and Australian paraphernalia (if you're one of
those people) and basically demonstrating their patriotism by getting shitfaced drunk at a BBQ while listening to Triple J's annual Hottest 100, that's if they aren't already rocking out/melting at our biggest music festival, the Big Day Out. To celebrate Australia Day eve, I'm getting back into some great home-grown music. Here are some songs by Australian musicians and bands, of different genres and popularity, that I've enjoyed over the years.
