INXS (album)

INXS is the debut studio album by Australian rock band INXS, released on 13 October 1980, by Deluxe Records. The album showcases a new wave and ska style the band soon abandoned in favor of post-punk, and later, pop rock. INXS recorded the album in midnight to dawn sessions during 1979 to 1980 after performing, on average, two gigs a day at local pubs around Sydney. All tracks are credited to band members, who co-produced the album with Duncan McGuire (ex-Ayers Rock). The album was exclusive to Australia and New Zealand for four years, with an international release not coming until 1984. INXS peaked at No. 27 on the Kent Music Report albums chart, and spawned the single, "Just Keep Walking" (September 1980), which became their first top 40 hit in the country.
