About this album

The Cockroaches’ self-titled debut is a bright, hook-driven snapshot of late-1980s Australian pop rock, mixing pub rock energy with reggae-pop bounce and new wave polish. Released in 1987, it shows the band turning rootsy guitar, easygoing humour and singalong choruses into an instantly accessible sound. The album helped establish the group’s reputation on the Australian scene before the project evolved into the better-known career path of its members, including the future Wiggles. Songs such as She’s The One and It’s Alright underline its cheerful, crowd-pleasing appeal, making the record a strong example of local mainstream rock with a distinctly playful edge.
