During their time together, The Triffids released several acclaimed albums and gained a loyal following.

Songs like *Wide Open Road* and *Bury Me Deep in Love* showcased their ability to craft heartfelt melodies with thought-provoking lyrics.

18 track best of the Triffids. Taking songs from all their albums and some stray singles and EP tracks, Wide Open Road paints a picture of a band that was equally adept at constructing huge, emotionally charged songs not a million miles away from what bands like U2 and Simple Minds were doing (Wide Open Road, Bury Me Deep in Love) and tiny songs seemingly built for late-night bedroom listening (Raining Pleasure, A Trick of the Light). Driven by leader David McComb's desperately romantic vision and his deep and resonate vocals, the band created epic music that, once you hear it, will stick with you for a lifetime. Pick this up if you want to discover a brilliant “lost” band, then get lost in the reissues that preceded it.
