Love Our Way

A memoir from the Australian band The Triffids, one of the most beloved and underappreciated acts of the 1980s. This book traces their journey from Perth's isolated music scene to international cult status, capturing the relentless touring, creative struggles, and the magnetic pull of frontman David McComb's songwriting. It's a story of ambition colliding with geography — a band that should have been huge, held back by distance and bad luck, yet creating music that endures. The Triffids carved out a sound that was uniquely Australian: melancholy, wide-open, and achingly honest. For anyone who's ever loved a band that deserved more, or wondered what it takes to keep making art when the world isn't paying attention, this is essential reading.
