Ted Mulry Gang – Power Hungry (2024)

"Power Hungry" is an archival release by the renowned Australian glam and pub rock band Ted Mulry Gang (abbreviated as TMG), officially released in 2024 by Almacantar Records (or as part of the Aztec Music archival series).

This album is an official collection of rare, previously unreleased studio sessions and demos recorded by the band during their creative heyday in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The Ted Mulry Gang were Australian rock superstars in the 1970s thanks to mega-hits like "Jump in My Car." However, by the early 1980s, with changing musical trends, the band faded into obscurity, leaving behind a wealth of high-quality material.

The 2024 release of "Power Hungry" is a tribute to the legacy of the band's late frontman, Ted Mulry. The record features songs that were planned for their later albums or were shelved due to disagreements with labels. The album is roughly divided into two parts: powerful, arena-style glam rock thrillers and heavier hard rock tracks, reflecting the band's evolution at the turn of the decade.
