The album contained 14 tracks by South Australian independent bands and artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe production of the album challenged the domination of the established Australian recording industry, which posed obstacles for South Australian bands. To get a recording contract, bands and musicians from Adelaide (and Perth, Brisbane, Hobart and regional Australia), had to navigate the challenges of regional geography and cultural bias, and recording company hegemony. Consequently, the rationale for this compilation album was based on frustration with the recording industry, a punk DIY ethos, a newly emerged independent media, cultural nationalism, and, locally, the South Australian cultural heritage and focus on creative industries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album and the effects it produced were symptomatic of the new public awareness of the Australian independent music sector that in turn fed into live music attendance, and commercial local recording. The contribution of a grassroots commitment to Australian music has not been well documented and this account situates the discussion in the social, political, and cultural context in which it emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCollette Snowden\u003c\/b\u003e is an academic with a prior career working as a journalist, publicist, musician, community activist, political media advisor, and media strategist based in Australia.
