INXS is the debut studio album by Australian rock band INXS, released on 13 October 1980, by Deluxe Records. The album showcases a new wave and ska style the band soon abandoned in favor of post-punk, and later, pop rock. INXS recorded the album in midnight to dawn sessions during 1979 to 1980 after performing, on average, two gigs a day at local pubs around Sydney. All tracks are credited to band members, who co-produced the album with Duncan McGuire.
