Midnight Oil

Punk rock
Punk rockRap

Midnight Oil is a Punk rock and Rap act. Their sound grew out of Hoodoo Gurus, Hothouse Flowers, Australian Crawl, Cream and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Those roots explain a lot about how Midnight Oil arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Hunters & Collectors, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, Powderfinger and Goanna, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Rico Blanco, End of Fashion, INXS, Counting Crows and Liam Finn, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 49 connections around Midnight Oil, reaching back through Hoodoo Gurus and forward to Rico Blanco. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
