======================================================
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 very strongly but led the band to tour live houses, packed with smiling fans in many of their major cities.
This, their yet to be released 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 record, providing the perfect soundtrack to a corny American teen movie.
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.
2006 also saw The Wellingtons perform at the International Pop Overthrow festival in L.A. (as part of a national tour) and receive glowing praise from revered power pop publications and record labels world wide.
The band have also maintained a hectic touring schedule back home in Australia. The band is set to embark on a European, Japanese and North American tour to coincide with the albums release mid 2008 after receiving support and funding from the Victorian Government. "The 10 perfect pop nuggets here are ridiculously catchy throwing dream harmonies and hooks all over the place. Each song is melodic and memorable because they are sweetly wrapped up with arrangements that keep it all both fresh and accessiblestunningly well-rounded, consistently hook-driven affair, w/ power pop melodies exploding in every corner of each song. It..s perfect. It..s a truly excellent pop album full of moments that effortlessly steal you away. Listen. Proof is in the songs here. Big Time and confidently proclaimed, Extremely Highly Recommended. Not Lame Records (USA)
"cowboy shirt-wearing pop kids who revere Elvis Costello and Ben Folds as genius-types..Keyboard solos, woo-hoos and la-la-las are the order of the day. The cuteness is decisively carried over into the music. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah sounds like The Electric Soft Parade on red cordial and with extra Keyboards.. this is a record designed for summer. Sticking to vinyl car seats as you drive down the coast and longing for that first drink at the pub when you get there."-FasterLouder.
If the Beatles circa help and the Shangri-las had somehow formed a super-group this is what they'd sound (and look) like Beat (Melbourne)
