The Living End is an Australian punk rock band that has galvanized audiences since their formation in 1994. Hailing from Melbourne, the trio—Chris Cheney (vocals, guitar), Scott Owen (double bass, backing vocals), and Andy Strachan (drums, backing vocals)—melds rockabilly riffs, punk energy, and a touch of protest into an electrifying blend of music that has remained distinctly their own across decades. The band gained national attention with their breakout single "Prisoner of Society" in the late '90s, which became an anthem for defiant youth and is still one of their most lauded tracks, as evidenced by its inclusion in their "triple j Live at the Wireless 1998" release.

The Living End's discography is punctuated by a steadfast commitment to rocking with a purpose, as showcased in albums like their self-titled debut, "The Ending Is Just the Beginning Repeating," and the more recent "Shift" and "Wunderbar." Throughout their career, they've been known for their high-octane live performances and anthemic songwriting, which often touches on social and political themes. With hit songs such as "Don't Lose It," "Keep On Running," and "Raise The Alarm," the band has not only cemented their legacy in the annals of Australian rock but has also garnered an international following. Even with a career spanning over 25 years, The Living End continues to resonate with fans old and new, proving the timelessness of their music and the enduring relevance of their message.
