Straight of of the outback, from down under, the group of Aussies are known as The Griswolds! I'd also like to say that last sentence was pretty impressive. But not as impressive as these guys! Their EP, Heart of a Lion, is something else! Sure, its only four songs, but they all have a different style and taste to each track, yet each seem to fall under a "Griswold" like sound. My two favorite tracks are "Heart of a Lion" and "Red Tuxedo", but "The Courtship of Summer" and "Mississippi" are great tunes, too! The track "Heart of a Lion" is a bit more edgy than their other songs, but man, does it work. It's a catchy, fast-paced, and a well composed sound. While another one of their tracks, "Red Tuxedo", reminds me very much of Vampire Weekend. I expect a quality album coming in early January of next year! So give a listen!What do you think?
Enjoy!
