I don't think pub rock is exclusively Australian and neither does Dave Edmunds, to name only one example.Ortolan88
Brit Elvis Costello links here, for another.

the Allmusic Guide (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=C2627) seems to think it is a British thing and doesn't mention Australia at all, nor any bands I recognize as being Australian. Tokerboy 01:10 Nov 15, 2002 (UTC)
Pub rock is definately a British thing (which isn't to say it doesn't exist in Oz as well), more specifically it's an Essex thing, eg, Dr Feelgood, Wilko Johnson, Eddie And The Hot Rods, Kursaal Flyers, Brinsley Schwarz, etc, etc, I should know, Southend On Sea where I live was the pub rock capital in the late 70's!! The page needs a major rewrite, too tired now though. quercus robur 23:04 Nov 18, 2002 (UTC)
And don't forget Ducks Deluxe, the Motors, or Graham Parker whilst you are at it. Maybe this article needs to be disambiguated between Australian and British Pub Rock. (It seems that these both exist.) I have heard Midnight Oil described as being a Pub Rock band in their early stages. Am I right, or misinformed? Two halves
Have started a seperate Pub rock (UK) entry and moved this page to Pub rock (Australia quercus robur
