“Then out of the blue came this sound and this attitude of fuck you, fuck the world, fuck everything. And I was like…..yeahhhhhh” - Ross Knight, Cosmic Psychos

Australia’s punk revolution emerged as a reaction to conservative values of the late 1970s, in parallel with the punk scene blowing up in the UK, clashing against authoritarian values in the Bjelke-Peterson era, and championing social issues including First Nations causes.

Depicting an insular but inclusive scene, that sat proudly below the surface of the attention of mainstream music, Age of Rage: The Australian Punk Revolution is a comprehensive compendium of the raging, subversive national punk rock scene in Australia, with director Jennifer Ross giving equal weighting to both interviews and celebration of music and culture.
