The Audreys are a band of four boys and one girl. They play rootsy kind of music and are based in Adelaide, Australia. They have released two records, one in 2006 called Between Last Night and Us and one in 2008 called When the Flood Comes. Both of their records have won the ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album, so they can't be half bad. They like vintage clothes, drinking, playing cards, touring and each other.

What are people saying about When the Flood Comes?
"From the opening strains of "Chelsea Blues" (presumably named after the Chelsea Hotel, where songwriters Taasha Coates and Tristan Goodall resided for a stretch while writing this album), it's clear that The Audreys' second is all about going deeper."
****, Rolling Stone, Australia
"Though there's no doubt that the extensive road seasoning hardened The Audreys into the band capable of making a record of the quality of When the Flood Comes, their decision to draw breath, drink some whiskey and stare down their expectations and pressures has produced an album of inspired songwriting; an exhalation of stock-taking that is powerfully black in the corners."
Martin Jones, Rhythms Magazine
"This LP should be the standard that all 'roots' music adheres to; this is the real deal kids. It's folk, it's rock, it's grunge, it's classical and it's blues, but above all, it's indescribably beautiful and stunningly original. The Audreys are where it's at."
Citysearch, Sydney
"Taasha's voice remains pivotal to the strength of The Audreys, as she delivers a performance that affirms her as Australia's best female talent."
9/10, Tsunami Magazine, Brisbane
"If Adelaide five-piece The Audreys impressed pundits and punters alike with their debut album Between Last Night and Us, they're set to floor all comers with the passion-soaked minimalism of When The Flood Comes. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant."
****1/2, Matt Connors, Daily Telegraph, Sydney
"A strong return for the local blues and roots act with songs such as Paradise City dripping with whisky and oozing with front woman Taasha Coates' sexy swagger. Confident and powerful, When The Flood Comes is everything we expected and a little more."
