Over the years, the band has become an essential part of the global rock'n'roll landscape, blending raw garage energy with post-punk menace, sophisticated songwriting and a ferocious live presence. Despite frequent changes in the lineup (featuring some of the finest musicians from bands like the Celibate Rifles, Lime Spiders, The Barracudas and Hoodoo Gurus), the band has maintained an unmistakable identity, one defined by urgency, grit and uncompromising quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Burning of Rome: Selected Works\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edoesn’t settle for the easy picks.
