Every generation of music fanatics has its own era. By that I mean they came of age at the time, they saw their favourite bands playing live for the first time, they formed their own bands, they bought the records, they lived the life. For broadcasters and journalists Jane Gazzo and Andrew P. Street it was the 1990s, which saw the explosion of Australian alternative rock. So Sound As Ever is essentially a celebration of the bands and events of the era.

Every generation of music fanatics has its own era. By that I mean they came of age at the time, they saw their favourite bands playing live for the first time, they formed their own bands, they bought the records, they lived the life. For broadcasters and journalists Jane Gazzo and Andrew P. Street it was the 1990s, which saw the explosion of Australian alternative rock. So Sound As Ever is essentially a celebration of the bands and events of the era.

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.
