I Heart Hiroshima e Bluejuice


Foi por casualidade que encontrei um blog musical, do qual rapidamente perdi o rasto, que versava maioritariamente sobre bandas australianas. Foi pegar numa daquelas maravilhosas listas de Top20 (quando era mais novo pensava mais em hierarquias de qualidade mas com o tempo isso perdeu-se, ainda bem) e seguir os nomes das bandas um por um. Bem, a lista tinha mais de vinte nomes e eu nem sei bem quantos no fim gostei, definitivamente uma ou até duas maos cheias. Estas duas, entre outras das quais até já mencionei os Red Riders, merecem uma audicao.


"I Heart Hiroshima is a three piece act from Brisbane, Australia; originally formed in July of 2005 at a house party. Recently they have reshuffled their lineup to Matthew Somers (guitar/voice) Susie Patten (drums/voice) and Cameron Hawes (guitar/voice.)
The band has developed a unique sound from their 'bass-less' band structure of two guitars and drums, combined with shared vocal duties from all three members.
This decision to play without a bass contributes to I Heart Hiroshima's unique blend of infectious pop melodies and catchy riffs."




Bluejuice
"Sporting an aggressive, party-oriented mix of rock, hip hop, electro and disco, the five member group is in its element making people dance in a retarded, unselfconscious way. Producer Jim Mashedar likened the band’s sound to “Lil’ Jon playing in a rock band”, an accurate representation of the more aggressive tracks on their debut LP, Problems. Elsewhere, expect to find downtempo hip hop, ska-tinged pop and pounding disco, all laced with the band’s winningly tongue-in-cheek attitude.
