Like Fleetwood Mac without the infighting, or Midlake without the indie hype, this Melbourne trio – sisters Julia and Sarah Gurry and brother Matty – know the value of a well-placed harmony and a cantering tune. A bit folky, a bit country, a bit slick pop, this is easy listening without being queasy listening. 4 STARS
Beat Magazine, 2009
Your favourite song will probably end up being Come Back Jimmy, as it’s the sort of song that could indeed be played at a redneck country hillbilly moon dance, but hey, for some reason, you’ll love it. I think its because these guys could nearly pull off anything and pull it off well.It’s a tasty treat!
“It's not surprising there's already a buzz about Belle Roscoe. It's an album with evocative wistful songs, daring arrangements (as in "Young And Fearless" and "Come Back Jimmy") and the sort of harmonies that can only come from siblings who've spent their lives from the cradle singing together" - Christie Eliezer, Billboard Magazine
"Belle Roscoe's self titled debut album is a brilliant piece of work that deserves airplay across the country. The album is an eclectic mix of songs that evokes memories of Mick Fleetwood's early albums. The opening track Restless Soldier would have fitted comfortably on Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album" - Jamie McDonald - 'Talking Back The Night' - Macquarie and Southern Cross Media Radio Network.

“BELLE ROSCOE TOFF IN TOWNâ€
Growing up in the Victorian countryside and long stints in Paris, twin sisters Julia (vocals, guitar) and Sarah (vocals, keyboard) Gurry and brother Matty (vocals, guitar, harmonica) soaked up inspiration from Los Angelas 70s’ soft rock, Celtic folk and French pop. They wrap these around strong songs and gorgeous harmonies: some, like Restless Soldier and Wrong Side they admit came from analysing Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles to see how they coped with three different song writers with distinct styles. Little wonder that Belle Roscoe’s self-titled album is getting spins on mainstream FM radio and on movie soundtracks such as Drop Dead Gorgeous.Live they kid around with a loudly appreciative crowd, and make good natural sibling barbs at each other. Tonight was a special night: they’d just got the news that they were asked to represent Australia at the Cannes Film Festival and play Le Printemps de Bourges music festival. They throw in a version of Nina Simone’s Sinnerman to celebrate. But it’s their own songs which impress, the atmospheric Shot Gun Love with tough guitar, the jazzy swing Come Back Jimmy, the pop radio assault of Young and Fearless about trying to crack the music industry to the intriguing dark narrative of Strange People which includes snatches of Don’t Pay The Feeyman. But price of admission alone is set closer Dis-Moi (Tell Me) a sweeping epic that is wonderfully theatrical and moving, and which best shows off those Belle Roscoe harmonies.
