Black Chrome is an Australian punk band from Adelaide, South Australia, believed to be the first punk band in the city. Formed in 1975 by Simon Stretton, Simon Dillon, and Andrew Griffiths, they were ignored by radio presenters, but released the single "Australia's God"/"We Are Tomorrow" on Stretton's label Tomorrow Records in 1978. The Internet revived interest in the band around 2000, and they became regarded as a cult band. They reformed in 2010 and as of December 2024[update] continue to play punk. They released the album Age of Rage in 2018. Stretton had a career as a judge before retiring in May 2024.
