The Wells are a five-piece Indie Rock Band that started gigging around Brisbane mid 2005. They perform original material (written by brothers Ben & Josh Eckersley) which displays great pop sensibility with big dirty smears of Blues and Country…. and these boys can really sing. Their focus on vocal harmonies and catchy melodic hooks add a great depth to the band’s overall appeal, as their densely layered instrumentation enriches each song. They all hail from the sleepy country-town of Lismore, NSW and slowly migrated to the city of Brisbane after they heard they still accept food stamps up here.
The Wells have played numerous live shows including supports for Something For Kate, Gaslight Radio and The Basics. They have also played at Brisbane’s Valley Fiesta and probably a whole bunch of other shows that I missed out on seeing as I was drunker than hell for a good few years there and don’t quite recall if I was alive or dead. The Wells have released their FIRST E.P which is available through ROCKING HORSE RECORDS & SKINNYS MUSIC here in Brisbane (if you don’t live in Brisbane just email [email protected]). Check them out at their next gig if you're in town!
