(February 2020) Episode 251 of the “opus project” is THE EASYBEATS. This is the best 1960s rock band you’ve probably never heard of (likely because they’re from Australia*). And if you have, you might agree they belong in the same discussion as the Stones, Kinks, Pretty Things and Yardbirds of the same period. Catchy melodies, sweet harmonies, groovy beats, guitar hooks. You might recognize “Friday on My Mind.” Bonus: they recorded albums of all-original materials before most other bands did.

* Guitarist was George Young, elder brother of Angus and Malcolm of AC/DC.
