Fraternity was an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1970 by former Levi Smith's Clefs members John Bisset, Tony Buettel, Bruce Howe, and Mick Jurd, with Bon Scott later joining as lead vocalist. The group released its debut single "Why Did It Have to Be Me" on Sweet Peach in 1971, followed by the album Livestock (1971), produced by Doug Ashdown. In the same year, Fraternity won Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds, earning a trip to London, and released Flaming Galah in 1972 through RCA Victor, featuring the local hit "Seasons of Change" which topped the Adelaide charts. The band toured with Jerry Lee Lewis and performed at the Myponga Music Festival. Fraternity disbanded in 1973, briefly reformed in 1974, and disbanded again in 1975; members later joined acts such as AC/DC and Cold Chisel.
