X Ray Z – Poor Image [7''] (1977, Mushroom)

 

X-Ray-Z is recognized as one of Australia's pioneering new wave outfits. The band had its roots in Adelaide pub band Rufus Red, but sensing a change in the musical climate the band adopted a 'poor image', renamed themselves X-Ray-Z and moved to Melbourne in early 1977. Here they set about establishing an identity on the inner city pub circuit. The first single put out by X-Ray-Z in 1978 had three songs, "Poor Image", "Sledgehammer Hit" and "Citizen John".

 

In early 1978, X-Ray-Z had signed to Suicide Records and contributed "Three More Glorious Years" (vintage diatribe against the Fraser Government) and "Valium" to the 'Lethal Weapons' album (1978). By the end of 1978 X-Ray-Z had mutated into Popgun Men. [SOURCE: PUNK JOURNEY]
