Okay, so Bulldog sent me this...
3 in the Morning, by The Infidels
The Infidels are an Australian band who I had often heard of, but never actually listened to... in fact I think most of their stuff is hard to come by so I was pretty excited when I received this!
I liked this album, and although I had never heard it before it sounded really familiar and had a really homely feel about it. Listening to it I was greatly reminded of bands like The Church and Crowded House... which I shouldn't really be surprised by as The Infidels is a side-project of Marty Willson-Piper of The Church, if I'm not wrong? Anyway, it's a great album... full of that great congenial Australian sound that I love.
The highlight of this album for me however would definitely be the cover of 'Boys Don't Cry.' Amazing! Was a very relaxed, fluid version of the song with lovely female vocals filling in for the the harmonies. Definitely not what I was expecting, and I'm pretty critical when it comes to covers, but I love it.
Thanks Bulldog, great pick!
