This Perth, Australia band has released what is possible the best album of the last few years. Amazing vocal, great songwriting, very good production. If you like good solid rock with a bit more cerebral content than usual, but not enough to send it into the prog zone, then this is for you.

Album of the Year? It’s up there. This is absolutely brilliant from first song to last. Not the Linkin Park of old but still sounds familiar.

Hot Tracks: Bleed It Out, Shadow Of The Day, Valentine’s Day, Hands Held High, oh just the whole damn album!!!

I had never heard of these guys before and have no idea how I found them but this album is still on constant rotation. Great production that is so simple it’s genius, great songs, and a huge range of depth in style. Kinda rock, kinda country, kinda folksy. I love it.

Hot Tracks: Fall On Your Knees, Behind Me Now, Keeping Score
