INXS signed with Deluxe Records which gave them a budget of $10,000 to record the album, during 1979 to 1980 they recorded from midnight to dawn, usually after doing one or more performances earlier that night. The album was released by Deluxe on 13 October 1980. Later Hutchence recalled working on INXS: It's these young guys struggling for a sound. All I can hear is what was going to happen later and it's probably an interesting album because of that. "Just Keep Walking" was the first time we thought we'd written a song. It's funny, I remember kids in pubs saying it and hearing it on the radio the first time. We took on an 'angry young man' status because we were working our guts out and still starving." Tim Farriss remarked that the lyric "Shove it, brother / Just keep walking" from the song "sort of summed up our attitude. INXS' early records demonstrated their new wave- ska-pop style, and were followed by near constant touring with almost 300 shows during 1981 as the band developed their status as a live act. Between touring commitments, the band released their third single in May 1981, " The Loved One", which was a cover of a 1966 song by Australian group The Loved Ones. This track was recorded at Studios 301 in Sydney, produced by Richard Clapton, and peaked in the Top 20.
