About this album

Rude Dudes is a hard-driving late-1970s rock album that leans on pub rock grit, blues-rock muscle and direct rock ’n’ roll energy. Released in 1979, it shows Ray Arnott working in a lean, no-frills mode, with tough rhythms, bracing guitar work and songs that favour momentum over polish. The album sits comfortably within Australia’s pub rock tradition, where high-volume clubs, working-band discipline and immediate hooks shaped the music’s impact. Rather than chasing trends, Rude Dudes delivers a rough-edged, confident set that reflects the live energy and street-level attitude of the era.
