Ben Lee - Rebirth Of Venus (2009)

Since the ripe old age of 15, Aussie Ben Lee has been writing some of the catchiest pop tunes in the world.  On February 10th fans will be treated to Lee's latest studio collection Rebirth Of Venus. Rebirth Of Venus has everything you've come to expect from a Ben Lee album.  The lyrics are clever.  The vocals are layered and melodic.  And I'll be damned if it's not rife with hooks!

Youth Group - The Night Is Ours

get this album now..

Youth Group are a four piece from Sydney, Australia and The Night is Ours is their fourth album. Best known for their hit, Forever Young, this is mournful, moody pop with sentimental, sappy lyrics that are, well boring.

Sounding like a less charismatic Editors; there is some nice rhythmic guitar in there and some cool synths pops up in one track, but this is very middle of the road stuff. Toby Martin’s voice does remind me of Madchester band, James’ Tim Booth at times, which is a good thing I guess. Track Babies in your Dreams is just awful.
