Stranded
A look at the rise of Punk in the conservative state of Queensland, Australia during the late Seventies with the band, The Saints, leading the way.
The 1970s Punk Rock movement: New York had The Ramones, London had the Sex Pistols, Australia had The Saints…
Stranded takes a look at the role four musicians from suburban Brisbane played in the explosion of one of the all time greatest musical movements. Featuring interviews with the members of the band, including its leaders Ed Kuepper and Chris Bailey, as well as the likes of Sir Bob Geldof, former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, and Buzzcocks guitarist Steve Diggle, Stranded examines how the oppressive and conservative government of Joh Bjelke-Petersen in the 1970’s helped act as a catalyst for the rise of punk rock in Australia, and how as a result, The Saints went on to be one of the most influential bands in the country.
