Howling Bells – ‘Treasure Hunt’

Sydney’s Howling Bells have returned with a very confident sounding second album Radio Wars. The opener Treasure Hunt is a tidy cut of indie rock gem with Juanita Stein’s distinctive vocals leading the way through the rest of this sophomore collection. They have achieved the double whammy of radioplay in their hometown this week, scoring albums of the week with both local tastemaker FBi Radio and national broadcaster Triple J. I’m glad this album is a step up from their debut, where I wasn’t really into most songs except for Low Happening. After one listen through the album I would hazard a guess that this will fare better with both critics and fans.

    This is the same country that made Empire Of The Sun famous. We’re really going a bit astray atm

    yeh i def prefer jimmy barnes…y is so hard for u to support your own artists?????????????? every band that gets big o.s gets a bad rap from they’re own country, anyone jealous??? hmmmm! get a spine and have the balls to use your ears and “LISTEN” to the music and then you might actually “HEAR” the brilliance in it, leave your own frustrations and bitterness and your depressing mundane 9-5 lifes at home, bands put out positivity and you sad sad people return with negativity.. There is a reason y London/Europe(do u know where that is??) love and respect HB’S so much, stop making australia look so dumb.
