Midnight Oil

Australian rock band famous for its top radio hits including, 'Beds are Burning' and 'Power and the Passion'. The band originally started as Farm in 1972 and slowly progressed to the rock powerhouse that is recognised today. The band hit its peak in the late 1980s, and slowly diminished in the late 90s as main vocalist Peter Garrett pursued a political career. The band won 11 ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) awards during its career.
