Bio
The Triffids est un groupe de rock alternatif australien, originaire de Perth, en Australie-Occidentale. Il est formé en mai 1978 avec David McComb au chant, à la guitare, à la basse et aux claviers. Ils connaissent un succès très modéré en Australie, mais énorme au Royaume-Uni et en Scandinavie à la fin des années 1980 avant leur séparation en 1989. Certains de leurs morceaux populaires comprennent Wide Open Road (février 1986) et Bury Me Deep in Love (octobre 1987). La SBS cite l'album Born Sandy Devotional dans sa série des Great Australian Albums en 2007, et atteint en 2010 la 5e place dans l'ouvrage des 100 Best Australian Albums de Toby Creswell, Craig Mathieson et John O'Donnell.
L'Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) reconnait l'importance des Triffids le 1er juillet 2008 lorsqu'elle l'inclut dans son Hall of Fame.

The Triffids were an Australian alternative rock and pop band, formed in Perth, Western Australia, in 1978, with David McComb as singer-songwriter, guitarist, bass guitarist and keyboardist. They achieved some success in Australia, but greater success in the UK and Scandinavia in the 1980s before disbanding in 1989. Their best-known songs include "Wide Open Road" (February 1986) and "Bury Me Deep in Love" (October 1987). SBS television featured their 1986 album, Born Sandy Devotional, on the Great Australian Albums series in 2007, and in 2010 it ranked 5th in the book The 100 Best Australian Albums by Toby Creswell, Craig Mathieson and John O'Donnell.
According to music historian Ian McFarlane, "The Triffids remain one of Australia's best-loved, post-punk groups ... McComb ... infused his melancholy songs with stark yet beautiful and uniquely Australian imagery. Few songwriters managed to capture the feeling of isolation and fatalistic sense of despair of the Australian countryside."
