Night of Rebellion


"Night of Rebellion" is a song recorded by Australian rock band INXS. Deluxe released the song in January 1982 as the second single from their studio album Underneath the Colours. The song was written by Andrew Farriss, Michael Hutchence, and Kirk Pengilly, and produced by Andrew Farriss and Richard Clapton.

Releases

The song was also included in the following albums: Stay Young 1979–1982 and The INXS Collection 1980-1993. "Night of Rebellion" was only released in Australia and was not as successful as its predecessor single "Stay Young", failing to appear in the charts.
The B-side includes the song "Prehistoria", an instrumental track composed by Kirk Pengilly and produced by Andrew Farriss. The track features loads of dinosaur and bird noises in the background. In New Zealand, the single "Underneath the Colors" was released with the same B-side containing "Night of Rebellion".

Reception

John Teerds of The Age stated that "Night of Rebellion" is a "pacey song with a good chorus and leads into a side with the emphasis on rockier numbers" while Jon O'Brien of Classic Pop called it a "rockabilly toe-tapper."
