About this album

If You Don’t Fight You Lose is a sharp statement from Redgum, the Australian folk-rock group whose songs fused pub-rock drive with clear-eyed political commentary. Issued in 1978, the album reflects the band’s early commitment to working-class narratives, anti-war feeling and local Australian detail, with songs such as One More Boring Night In Adelaide and H.M.A.S. Australia showing their knack for turning everyday language into pointed social observation. The record helped establish Redgum as one of the country’s most distinctive protest voices, balancing humour, anger and melody in a way that made their message immediate rather than abstract.
