Midnight Oil is a rock n roll band formed in Sydney, Australia, at the beginning of the 70s. With a passion for early new-wave, the group went to release their self-titled album debut, and their rumbling glam sounding music gathered a cult-like following. Their album wasn't a mainstream success, but they put the nail in the coffin nearly a decade later with the release of "Diesel and Dust," which delivered international glam rock numbers like "Beds Are Burning" and The Dead Heart."
Midnight Oil will be remembered by their forward-thinking rock music in a time when new-wave was just emerging. Their "Beds Are Burning" track is still one of their most beloved tracks, and it transcended into a classic record of the rock and roll generation.
