About this album

Head Injuries sharpened Midnight Oil’s early identity into urgent, politically charged rock with real bite. Issued in 1979, the band’s second album pushed beyond pub-rock roots into a tighter alternative rock attack, driven by Peter Garrett’s raw delivery, the rhythm section’s relentless momentum and songs that linked personal tension to broader social unease. Cold Cold Change became an early signature and helped announce the band’s expanding reach beyond Australia. The record is widely regarded as a key step in Midnight Oil’s evolution, setting out the focused, confrontational style that would define their breakthrough years.

Genre: Pop & Rock
