Editor's note

The Living End's punk rock with a double bass

Melbourne trio that turned 'Prisoner of Society' into an Australian rock anthem.

If you want their essence, 'Prisoner of Society' and 'Blood On Your Hands' frame it pretty well, loud, fast, and built to last.

They arrived with a sound that felt both familiar and completely their own, punk energy with Chris Cheney's guitar work over Scott Owen's upright bass. 'Prisoner of Society' became that kind of song people shout along to without thinking. Later tracks like 'Blood On Your Hands' kept that urgency alive.

They formed in Melbourne in 1994 and signed with Mammoth Records three years later. Their self-titled debut landed with those early singles, and 'Roll On' helped cement their place at home before they took it overseas.

Archive material and source history

The Living End formed in Melbourne in 1994 with Chris Cheney on guitar and vocals, Scott Owen on double bass, and Joe Piripitzi on drums. They signed with Mammoth Records in 1997 and released their self-titled debut album, which included the singles 'Prisoner of Society' and 'Second Solution.'

Their second album, 'Roll On,' helped establish them in Australia, and they toured in the United States and Europe.

In 2004, there were accusations that 'Prisoner of Society' plagiarized The Misfits, but the claims were dismissed. The band's catalog includes songs like 'End Of The World,' 'White Noise,' and 'Resist.'
