Experience one of Australia’s most important protest records with Pillars of Society, the 1988 debut from Kev Carmody, reissued on red and black vinyl with a yellow centre to honour the Indigenous flag. Remastered by Mikey Young and featuring restored artwork by Luke Fraser, this edition has been fully authorised by Kev himself.
Kev Carmody is a Bundjalung/Lama Lama singer-songwriter, activist, and educator whose work blends political fire, oral storytelling, and natural imagery. Widely celebrated as “Australia’s Black Bob Dylan,” Carmody co-wrote the iconic “From Little Things Big Things Grow” with Paul Kelly and has been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
From the title track’s biting critique to “Black Deaths in Custody” and “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” Pillars of Society stands as a landmark protest album that continues to resonate powerfully today.
