I must confess as I post this I haven't actually listened to these guys yet.... I will have by the end of the day though.... Hope you enjoy Cheers Greg
They often say that what you are looking for is directly under your nose, that you can sometimes search too hard to find what you are looking for when in fact it is in your backyard the whole time.
Following last week's blog for me is very hard, I am so in love with City and Colour that it has made the search this week's artist one of the more difficult of the MATTador's adventure so far. The good news is I've found something that is hard not to enjoy, any person that even distinctly enjoys turning on the stereo and listening to a good tune will rate these guys.
As eluded to above the search went long and far before returning to my back door where I found a Rockhampton band Knocking. Busby Marou ( Thomas Busby & Jeremy Marou) pronounced Buzz-Bee a-Room, are long time friends that combine in a seamless way to produce beautiful melodic harmonies with exquisite guitar riffs and solo's. Marou has Torris Straight Island heritage that filters its way into their music, often fighting siblings to play the instruments in the house as a child guided his musical beginnings . Matou's background combined with Busby's beautiful lyrics and naturally raw vocals is a match made in musical heaven.
I love finding local (especially Queensland) based musicians that can cut it on a grand scale, I challenge any critic anywhere to knock these guys. If I had to describe them in a sentence I would say this - A band that would be as comfortable on the big stage in front of thousands of fans as they would be in the backyard singing for their families. It the initial stages of there career as a band Busby Marou are sure to evolve over the coming years into a household name across accross Australia, so jump on board and enjoy the ride.
