Some
Brit-rock is inspired – like Travis and Coldplay,
some is sort of droll-sounding; the Doves come under
the latter description.
There are a few fun songs on this CD, but as a whole,
Some Cities, like its CD sleeve, is fairly monotone. |

WITH
a name that sounds like they should be in a competition
that gives out gold medals, this band gives other
Brit-rock bands a run for their money.
Athlete
has great lyrics, smooth ballads and quirky melodies.
If you buy one CD this pay, make it this one.

IF
YOU’RE just not into love songs, Departure
Lounge: Whatever gets across the sentiment
without being soppy.
Typical
of Petrol, you’re getting worldclass music that
you won’t hear all over radio here. Whatever
is from Petrol’s new Departure Lounge range.

ROCK-pop
bands are a dime a dozen, but Daughterboy Jao has
a distinctive twist to their first CD, Simple
Matters. A follow-up to their 2003 EP Fake Blood
and the Rest is Unknown, Daughterboy Jao
is a credit to the the Melbourne music scene. They
share producer Paul McKercher with Eskimo Joe and
Little Birdy, which guarantees a top quality listening
experience. This CD definitely won’t disappoint. |

LISTENING
to Dream, it could be a surprise to find out Evermore
is a group of Sydney-based Kiwis. The album has
US TV drama (The OC) soundtrack written all
over it and a dream-like soft rock, grunge sound.
Two giant thumbs up to the Evermore guys. Another
great Aussie (or adopted Aussie) band. |

THIS
album has a mild country feel, and if you listen
to the whole CD in one sitting, you won’t touch
it again for weeks. With air play on Triple J,
and an up-coming tour, Dan Brodie’s popularity
will sky rocket.
Beautiful
Crimes’ sound is a fresh look at Australian
pop rock.
