Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised that this program contains voices, names and music of people who have died.

When No Fixed Address formed on Kaurna Country in the late 1970s, their fusion of rock and reggae was like nothing we'd ever heard before.

They were sometimes referred to as "Australia's most controversial band" because their lyrics fought back against racism and colonialism (especially in songs like 'Pigs', 'Black Man's Rights' and 'We Have Survived'), and their reggae rhythms got us dancing, and listening, to what they had to say.

No Fixed Address were the first Aboriginal band to tour overseas, and their appearance in the film Wrong Side of the Road brought issues facing First Nations musicians to national attention and helped to blaze a trail for artists and storytellers that followed.

This episode features Bart Willoughby and Ricky Harrison of No Fixed Address, along with fans of the band like Goanna's Shane Howard, journalist and producer Russell Guy, ABC host of Island Music Rick Howe and Gumbaynggirr rapper Wire MC.
