It was around 4pm when they made their announcement.

They knew that hundreds, maybe thousands, would answer their call.

The Australian government thought nothing of it, honestly what harm could a few hyped up teenagers possibly do?

That's how revolutions start.

When one side underestimates the power of the other, doesn't believe in the power of a huge overly-dedicated fan base.

That's how it started here in Australia anyway.

The government refused to comply with a few simple demands and the lead singer of one of the countries most well known bands thought he could do a better job of running the place.

It was never going to end well.

They had the whole country under their control in less than a week.

We never stood a chance.
