Aussie Rock does not refer to all rock & roll bands from Australia. Instead, Aussie rock is a particular style of tough hard rock performed by Australian bands that earned their skills by playing the country's legendarily rough-and-tumble pubs. There's no specific sound, per se, but there is a certain aesthetic that unites bands as diverse as the Saints, the Celibate Rifles, AC/DC, and Midnight Oil.
