I like them and the social stance that they take because their messages a subtle and not forced upon you, and they connect social issues with emotions. They also touch upon a lot of issues relevant to Australia like aboriginal rights and such. I guess their very similar to Midnight Oil in that respect.
I never thought about comparing them to Midnight Oil in that respect. You've got a point there. 'No Other Way' - just that one opening track from Sharing Space is enough to show where the band sit in terms of social awareness without forcing the listener to have to agree or disagree.
