About the album

FROM THE ORIGINAL 2007 PRESS RELEASE: 
 

The second instalment of Chapter Music’s acclaimed Australian post-punk compilation series Can’t Stop It! comes five years after the first, but makes up for the long interval by presenting another incredible array of inventive and often previously unheard music from the period 1979-1984.

This is a fantastically rich and dynamic time in Australian music history, a time when Aus- tralia stepped out of the shadows of overseas influence and asserted its own musical iden- tity for perhaps the first time.

Can’t Stop It! #2 features tracks by bands such as Severed Heads, the Systematics and Scat- tered Order, and early works by the likes of Dead Can Dance’s Lisa Gerrard, Hunters & Collectors’ Mark Seymour and Candy soundtrack composer Paul Charlier.

The CD includes a 16 page booklet with exten- sive liner notes, rare photos and Josh Petherick’s striking design.
