Punk West #9: Dennis Cometti, The Band

Dennis Cometti, the band, is made up of Mitch, Alex and John, who formed the band in 2014 and quickly gained a solid fanbase writing songs about the CBD, playing footy and the WAFL.

In 2020 they released their debut album as well as the single “WAXIT”, which became the most played track of the year on RTRFM. (It also placed #69 in our most played list of 2021, and was voted #26 on RTRFM’s 45 Greatest WA Songs poll this year.)

Their punk tunes have a unique Western Australian theme and their love of the state and each other really comes across during this chat on Punk West.

Punk West is an oral history of Perth’s punk scene. David Redding (Burn the Airwaves) talks to the scene’s stalwarts, stand-outs, and elder statespeople about the gigs, the bands, the venues, and the sounds.
