Radios Appear was the first full length studio album by Sydney punk-rock band Radio Birdman. The album was recorded at Birdman's Trafalgar Studios during 1976 and 1977. Trafalgar initially distributed the album via mail order and by sales from the backs of friend's and band members' station wagons. This laid the groundwork for future DIY punk bands in Australia. Radios Appear was hailed by many as a breakthrough album in Australian music and a decisive change from the uneventful early mid-seventies scene.
The album's title was taken from the song "Dominance and Submission" by Blue Öyster Cult, one of the band's most important early influences.
