Not one for pop rock generally, with the genre tending to be riddled with teen angst, side parts, and liberally applied eye make up, Skye Harbour have cunningly snuck onto my musical radar and may just be my exception to the rule.
Just like Melbourne stole the Grand Prix from Adelaide back in ’96, so too has it enticed these four childhood friends seeking bigger and better things.
‘Paying Debts’ is one of a tidy offering of songs from their debut EP Houses (free to download right here). Lead singer Josh Hardy’s thick vocals are tempered with heartrending violins and heavily layered guitars. There’s just the right amount of broody with not an ounce of Pete Wentz.
And if you think that’s half decent, then multiply it by a million and spy them onstage. If you’re in Melbourne you’re in luck, just keep your eyes on their myspace and there’s sure to be a gig coming up.
Pete Wentz doesn’t sing, he plays bass. geez get your horrible 2000’s emo pop right.
haha
haha but he is the epitome of broody, goes well beyond the bass. sends me straight to the toilet bowl. ew.
The only reason Skye Harbour left Adelaide is because no one likes thier shit brand of inoffesive indie rock! Plus thier live shows are wank. Just my thoughts of course…
wash your mouth out.
the skye harbour boys are ace & their live gigs are always epic.
behind them all the way.
It’d be appreciated if Tom left his own music here with his opinion. Big talker don’t mean shit if you’ve got nothing to back it up with.
Orrrrrrr… maybe you spend too much time reading and leaving comments on music blogs and your band sucks?
