Below is a piece that I wrote approximately 10 months ago, at the time I
couldn't stop talking about this band and I eventually listed their
song 'Lay it Down! as my favourate track in the 2011 hottest 100
voting. That being said it was one of their lesser know tracks that I
fell in love with "My Gun", almost one year on and it has finally been
released as a single and I would love to share it with you all. It is slightly fuller in its production and a few of the wrinkles have been ironed out since the original was released on Triple J's 'Unearthed' website but DAM it's still just as
amazing..... (written 3/11/2011) "The Rubens"! This fantastically original group of three Brothers and a childhood friend formed only 9 months ago and have already began to create waves the size of a tsunami on the Australian music scene. Hailing from the tiny town of Menangle NSW and to this stage only releasing five songs it feels to me like being at a magic show, you know something amazing is about to happen but your unsure of what.
These guys bring almost a new genre of music to the table combining a backbone of blues (Tremolo) guitar with a soulful and pop style of lyric. The recording studio is a family bedroom in a bush house which seems to add to the rawness, add to the mix plenty of reverb and some organ sounds and you have the my new favourate band.
Their debut album will be recorded in New York by a "Big Name" producer in the music industry and will be released in 2012, not bad for a few blokes from country town in NSW.
Ladies and Gentlemen I give to you THE RUBENS,
