Formé au début des années 1980 en Nouvelle-Zélande avec des musiciens ayant joué dans les groupes punk "Dum Dum Boys" puis "The Henchmen" et inspiré par The Stooges, Reptiles at dawn fut un des rares groupes de rock des antipodes à pouvoir faire parvenir alors les échos de sa musique jusqu'en Europe.Pratiquant une musique rampante (logique compte tenu de son nom), binaire et lancinante, le groupe emmené par son chanteur Tony Collins bénéficia du soutien du label français New Rose pour enregistrer à Auckland et Sydney et faire paraître en 1986, "Naked In The Wilderness". En 1987, l'album "Dressed In The Flesh", moins brut, suivit.Un double 45 tours comportant des inédits "After The Plague" et le 45 tours "Zenith" complétèrent, en sus d'une présence sur plusieurs compilations, la discographie de ce groupe éphémère et exotique par sa provenance dont la sincérité était le principal atout. Tony Collins installé en France intégre au début du troisième millénaire le groupe brestois "The Lost Disciples" mais après trois albums le groupe s'arrête en 2008.

Having moved to Sydney, members of New Zealand punk band The Henchmen were alerted to the existence of an Australian 1960s outfit by the same name. They decided to “shed old skin” and became Reptiles At Dawn. The first release under their new name was “Naked In The Wilderness”, and was made up of reworked remnants from the abandoned second Henchmen album. "Zenith" a song from this album and the non-LP "Borderline King" were issued in France as a single in 1986 by New Rose records .
