One of the best punk bands to come out of Sydney in the early 80’s, World War XXIV was formed in late 1981 and they were getting into fast energetic punk music. They decided to have a jam and make a bit of noise. First gig was at the Civic Hotel, March 1982. In 1983 the band recorded the excellent single, ''Azaria / Y Bother'' on the Eyebrow label which is one of the best Aussie punk records of the 80’s. The band played a fast style of punk that combined Dead Kennedys type hardcore, Peter & The Test Tube Babies style Oi! and tough Radio Birdman style riffing which made for a powerful non generic sound. (The band also did some Dead Kennedys and Test Tube Babies covers in their set as well as originals.) In 1986 the band released their debut album (self titled) on Aberrant Records but by this stage the lineup had changed.
