The Wellingtons - Heading North For The Winter (2008)

Australia’s The Wellingtons continue to inject all that is cute, smart, and sweet into their crafted up-beat power pop tunes. It’s the sound that’s brought them devoted fans in the U.S, Canada and Spain and major success in Japan where their first two albums have not only sold strongly but led the band to tour live houses, packed with smiling fans in many of their major cities.

Their third album ‘Heading North For The Winter’ is a big leap forward for the band. The album contains a considered, sophisticated group of songs recorded in Australia’s finest studios utilising a first class production team.

The glistening, saccharine melodies bound out of your stereo and instantly put a smile on your face. Beneath those vocal hooks, the raw guitars, driving rhythm section and infectious sythns create pure pop-rock bliss much like Weezer and The Cars did before them. Heading North For The Winter is simply an exciting, punchy, jump around your room sing-along record.

The Wellingtons also invited Kim Shattuck, front woman of legendary Los Angeles pop band The Muffs to sing backing vocals on the record after they played together in the U.S. in 2006.

The band have also maintained a hectic touring schedule back home in Australia and embarked on a European, Japanese and North American world tour to coincide with the album release in autumn 2008.

Band Powerpop asal negeri tetangga kita yang terkenal sm kangguru-nya ini merilis album terakhir mereka yang berjudul "Heading North For The Winter" pada musim gugur 2008. Lebih Catchy dan Berisi itu kata-kata yang cocok kalo di bandingin 2 album sebelum-nya. Dengan Weezer(early weezer tentunya) dan The Cars yang mereka akui sebagai band yang mempengaruhi terbesar mereka dalam bermusik terlihat dari lagu-lagu The Wellingtons yang sing-a-long. Band yang masih konsisten di jalur indie label ini telah mempunyai fans base yang cukup banyak di belahan dunia khususnya Jepang. Para penggemar Powerpop semacam All-American Reject, Hellogoodbye atau Rooney pasti bakal suka sama nih band yang materi lagu-lagunya easy listening banget.

Line Up :
Zac Anthony (vocals, guitar)
Kate Goldby (vocals, bass)
Koji Asano (guitar, vocals)
