INXS (pronounced “in excess”) were an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. The band’s founding members were bassist Garry Gary Beers, main composer and keyboardist Andrew Farriss, drummer Jon Farriss, guitarist Tim Farriss, lead singer and main lyricist Michael Hutchence, and guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly.[For twenty years, INXS was fronted by Hutchence, whose “sultry good looks” and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band.][3] Initially known for their new wave/pop style, the band later developed a harder pub rock style that included funk and dance elements.-Wikipedia

George Starothin's Reviews
But I gotsta tell you, my limited experience says it's one of this band's best releases, and a fine 1980 pop album in its own rights.

Rarebird's Rock and Roll Rarity Reviews
INXS' self-titled 1980 debut album, produced in part by the band, is amateurish but fairly likable. It sounds as though the youthful pub rockers were attempting to make a record on the order of the first two Joe Jackson albums, but the songs and arrangements are too thin to achieve that.

This album contained the single “Just Keep Walking”. This was INXS’ first song that entered the UK top 40.
