1960s-influenced band The Arctic Circles played the Melbourne (Australia) independent scene in the mid-1980s. The band’s sound fused garage-punk, psychedelia and tough R&B riffs.
The band issued the single Angel in October 1985 and the mini-album Time in March 1987, both on an independent Melbourne-based label called Mr Spaceman Records.
The Arctic Circles also contributed three tracks (Walk Away, You Satisfy Me and Why?) to Radio 2JJJ‘s 1985 Various Artists compilation, Cooking With George Mark Too.
