WILDLAND

When we talk about late 80's Australian melodic rock, there are a few 'go to' bands from that era. Think Roxus, Southern Sons/The State, DeMont, BB Steal, Dragon, at a pinch Noiseworks. Guaranteed one name that won't be among them is Sydney based Wildland. There's not a lot out there on this band, they must've been good enough because they landed a 'big fish' deal with CBS Australia, and released their one-off album 'In This Lifetime' back in 1990.

What we do know about the band members: well the rhythm section of were previously in the 1989 version of The Party Boys, a well known Aussie band featuring a who's who of Australian rock n roll, plus invited guests such as The Eagles Joe Walsh, and Status Quo's Alan Lancaster. Singer Noel Zammit and guitarist Jeff Lenham had played in various spin-off bands related to longtime blues/jazz outfit Beachhead, while Keefe West Jnr has played with numerous top international artists as a guitarist. The album, over the last few years as it has become better known among collectors and file share seekers, has been labelled as a poppy AOR set of tunes.
