Don't Throw Stones, the second studio album from Australian new wavers the Sports, came out on Mushroom in February 1979, early copies carrying a bonus promotional seven-inch of "Reckless". It's where the band's blend of British pub rock grit and sharp new wave smarts clicks into place, the kind of sound that sits comfortably between Brinsley Schwarz and Elvis Costello.
Stephen Cummings sings with a wry, knowing cool, Andrew Pendlebury's lead guitar and Martin Armiger's guitar lock together tight and twangy, and the title track, one of the band's top-forty singles, struts with nervy, snappy confidence. It went top ten on the Australian Kent Music Report, went gold, and in 2010 was listed at number 51 in the book 100 Best Australian Albums.
