About this album

Desperate is a fierce early Divinyls statement, setting Chrissy Amphlett’s confrontational vocals against lean garage rock, pub rock and rock’n’roll muscle. Issued in 1982, the album arrived as the Australian group was sharpening the sound that would make them one of the country’s most distinctive hard-edged acts. Its songs balance swagger and bite, with sharp riffs, insistent rhythms and memorable hooks driving a performance that feels direct and unsentimental. For listeners tracing the band’s rise, Desperate captures the moment when Divinyls turned raw energy into a signature style and laid the groundwork for their later success.
