🎸 The Angels – Celebrating 50 Years of Australian Rock History 🎸
Very few bands can say they’ve survived—and thrived—through five decades of rock and roll. But The Angels aren’t just any band. Since exploding onto the scene in the mid-70s, they’ve become one of the most influential and enduring names in Australian music.
This year, The Angels celebrate their 50th anniversary, a milestone that puts them in truly legendary territory. Their sound helped shape the very identity of Aussie pub rock, with blistering guitar riffs, unforgettable hooks, and an energy that never lets up—on record or on stage.
In this episode of Long Way to the Top, I catch up with two of the band’s current driving forces: Nick Norton, now stepping up as frontman, and Sam Brewster, holding it down on bass. We talk about what it means to carry forward the legacy of a band that’s left such a massive imprint on Australian rock culture.
From the early days with Doc Neeson at the helm, to the unforgettable anthems like No Secrets, Shadow Boxer, and Take a Long Line, The Angels’ catalogue is nothing short of iconic. But this conversation isn’t just a look back—it’s also about how the band continues to evolve, tour, and connect with a new generation of fans while staying true to their roots.
Whether you’ve been following The Angels since the beginning, or you’re just discovering their music now, this episode is a celebration of the spirit, stories, and staying power that make Oz Rock what it is.
