Question
I have been chasing a CD of a mid-late 80's australian band by the name of Bang The Drum...and I think the album is self titled.....I think? Can you help me in trying to find a copy...is this the right name?

Answer
Dear Cols,

You must be talking about the Australian (Tasmania) band BANG THE DRUM consisting of singer STEVE DRIVER (of the band DRIVER) and guitarist JIM REECE. I'm not really familiar with their works except the one they contributed for the soundtrack of the Aussie movie THE BIG STEAL back in 1990 called STAY FOREVER.
Incidentally, another Australian band, INXS had an EP released in 2004 titled BANG THE DRUM.

Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
