World War XXIV (Twenty-four) was one of Sydney, Australia's first hardcore punk bands and they formed in 1981-1986
World War XXIV are a high energy punk outfit that have been together since early 2013 as a rehashed version of WWXXIV considered one of the best punk bands to come out of Sydney in the early 80's. The band plays a fast style of punk that combines Dead Kennedys style hardcore, Peter & the Test Tube Babies Oi! sound, and tough Radio Birdman riffs which creates a powerful non-generic sound.
