Columbia Records will be releasing Redneck Wondeuland the latest studio album from Australian rock legends Midnight Oil November 3. This marks the band’s return to Columbia after a brief sojourn on Sony’s WORK Group label. Explaining the album’s enigmatic title, Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett says, "There’s a piece of graffiti in Melbourne by the Yarra River scrawled on an electricity substation: a map of Australia and the words ‘Redneck Wonderland’ written across it. Underneath the map is a statement: 'Will the forest that survived the ice age survive the Howard government? Save Coolengook Forest.’ And those two words just stuck with us?"
