What If Australia's Breakout Band Of 2025 Is Named 'Worst Album Ever'?

Australia's 'Worst Album Ever' band

A completely unappealing band name; an extremely shite live album; a Top 100 Countdown of 'AI Music Slop' that lasts half a day; experiments in so many genres it's impossible to say what kind of band they even are (which is, of course, half the point) and still Australia's 
'Worst Album Ever' Band has clocked up 10,000s of YouTube views in a few months, with no marketing.

Incredibly, those numbers make them a 'Rising Australian Band' according to the grim realities and statistics of the Australian Music Industry, where bands of any kind are becoming scarcer.

It's going to be strange indeed to see a song by 'Worst Album Ever' listed in the ARIA Top 100 next year, or bottom of the bill on a festival. And funny, too, I suppose. 

The Worst Album Ever 'AI Music Slop Top 100 Countdown' begins here. Lots of rock and metal abound, and not all of its AI-generated. There's Real Human Music slipped in, too. 

How far can this really go?

Wild Magpies Singing & Rocking Out

Wild magpies were regular visitors to my garage recording studio at Wakki Beach, NSW. They'd invite themselves in and sing along to crazy stuff I was playing on synthesizers

Climate Change Exhibition At Sydney Museum, 2009

A selection of images from a Climate Change Exhibition at Sydney Museum in 2009. 

About 70% of Australians supported actions to lessen climate pollution and to degrade the intensity of what most scientists, news media and people generally thought was coming.

That was 2009, the year of this exhibition. Then the fossil fuel lobby and the billionaires business lobby and the Liberal Party and National Party, and Labor, and their partners in Australian news media all decided that Nope, We Won't Do Fk All, And We'll Keep Opening Mines And Polluting.

With the decade, the public support for 'Taking Action To Halt Or Degrade Extreme Climate Change' was fractured and soaked in conspiracy theories. 

Now? Climate Change doesn't get mentioned during elections.

The polluters and all their lackeys won.
