Ball Park Music

Its pretty hard to avoid the barrage of kickass tunes making it's way out of my home town at the moment.  That's right, good old Brisbane town is setting the standard and ever since I voted this band into my hottest 100 last year they have been demanding more and more attention.



This week I want to introduce you all to the indi rock/pop five piece know as "Ball Park Music".  With the release of their debut EP in 2009 these guys have been gathering momentum at a ridiculous pace, right now after their second full length album release in twelve months their future is as bright as any band in this country, seriously I don't see not much standing in their way to the top of the Aussie indi music pedestal.

Thier latest offering 'Museum' is a slightly more serious take on their previous work -  I get the feeling it delves a little deeper into their conscious without taking out the fun element they have made their own.  Thier third release off the new album is a cracker, 'Coming Down' it's a subtle example of the bands slight shift in direction.  It's built around the mesmerising vocal of lead singer Sam Crowmack, it's simple but incredibly effective in drawing you in and feeling the pain that he describes.

Take a listen and more importantly take note of this killa Brisbane outfit, Prediction- this is your new 'Powderfinger' (for anyone overseas reading this do yourself a favour and look them up) this band will be knocking ya socks off for many, many years to come.
