The Missing Links were a pioneering Australian garage rock and R&B band from Sydney, active between 1964 and 1966. Known for their raw energy and rebellious stage antics, including smashing equipment, they were ahead of their time. Their 1965 self-titled album is celebrated for its fusion of garage rock and protopunk, drawing comparisons to The Troggs and early The Who. Their influence resonates in the Australian music scene, inspiring bands like The Saints, who covered "Wild About You" on their debut album.
