Aside from a passing reference to frying UV rays (the ozone is thinning Down Under) and an occasional Aussie accent, I could easily mistake these songs as American. The five bands represented here sound very similar--forceful, loud vocals offset by catchy drum and guitar. There's no refined philosophical system being developed here--this is the "I-don't-give-a-damn" sense of fun that all college students feel (yes, even at Harvard).

From all this comes one loud signal, intended not least for her own husband: "She's not interested in making money," says another friend. "That...
