Men At Work Artist Snapshot:

One of the most successful bands ever to come out of Australia, Men at Work were part of the mainstream new wave explosion that hit America in the early 1980s, and their catchy, humor-filled, Police-influenced sound exploded onto American radio, earning the band big hits and huge sales. Their fame was fleeting, as they virtually vanished after a couple of albums. Singer Colin Hay went solo, and eventually re-formed the band, but never duplicated Men at Work's initial success.

Includes liner notes by David Wild.

This Australian combo's 1982 debut was an instant worldwide smash, mostly due to the undeniably catchy pop songcraft of singer/songwriter Colin Hay. Of course, it didn't hurt that with the group's reggae undertones and Hay's yelping tenor, they bore a superficial resemblance to early-'80s pop gods The Police, but BUSINESS AS USUAL is far from derivative.

A gift for the hook was Men At Work's most powerful weapon, from the impossibly catchy sax riff on the paranoid pop tune "Who Can It Be Now" to the staccato flute line marking the chorus of the reggae-ish "Down Under." "Down By the Sea"'s atmospheric poignancy proves there's another level of depth to the band's work, and the driving "Underground" adds a unique socio-political edge to the proceedings.
