SOUND of SYDNEY, Volume 4.0 on CD

$20.00

The idea of SOUND OF SYDNEY VOLUME 4.0 is to catch up on some of the great bands who have been active in Sydney across some or all of the 40 years since Method Records' first release in 1980. The album design features one of legendary artist Peter O’Doherty’s brilliant paintings of Sydney.  Method released three Volumes of the Sound of Sydney during the 1980s, with significant success. Volumes 2 and 3 both made the Top 40 mainstream album charts in Sydney.

Who are we?

Method Records and Music (Australia) is an independent music label dedicated to great indie music in genres such as power pop, psych pop, folk pop, punk, post-punk, ska and mod.

Originally started in 1980 by Keith Welsh, Method was run through most of the 1980s by Fabian Byrne and Doug Lees.

The label has been re-born in 2015 to release some great new music as well as to make available the remnant stock from the Method archives.

We are all for a sustainable future, so we don’t sell CDs in plastic cases but rather put effort into creating beautiful gatefold sleeves made of cardboard.
