"Sounds of Then (This Is Australia)" is a 1985 song by Australian rock band, Gang Gajang, from their self-titled debut album, Gang Gajang. "Sounds of Then" was written by front man, Mark "Cal" Callaghan, who provides lead vocals and guitar.[1] He co-produced the album with fellow band member, Graham Bidstrup, and Joe Wissert (Earth, Wind & Fire, Helen Reddy, the J. Geils Band) at Rhinoceros Studios.
It was issued as a single in November 1985 and peaked at No. 35 on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart in February 1986.[2] "Sounds of Then" became the band's most popular and recognisable song, and was used as Nine Network's station ID promotion in 1996.[3] The B-Side, "House of Cards", had been recorded live for youth radio station, 2JJJ.
It has been described as, "a defining portrait of the nation."[4]
