So it is fast approaching the time of year where it is all about end year lists, best ofs and retrospectives. For Aussie bloggers, I don't think it comes anymore well known on a local front than A-Reminder's Annual Top Australia/NZ Bands & Artists list. The top 25 or so bands that I contribute rarely rate high on the list, but I think that is both a sign of good taste on the part of my fellow Aussie bloggers at the expense of my own and a brilliant chance to have a concise list formulated of how good our local music can be!
With the deadline looming, I am trying to get my list together to send in and I realise there is one of my new favourite acts which I am still yet to blog about.
Until now!
The Honey Pies have risen from the ashes of Poly & The Statics. I remember like with most of the good Aussie music I heard, I had the Sandwich Club to thank... they'll be back... they just have to come back!
Upon revisiting the Poly & The Statics Triple J Unearthed page and reading the comments left by some highly respected music-types, they were a band on the up. Without doubt the key ingredient to the previous incarnation was songwriter Jon Marco and I think in The Honey Pies we witness a very talented man hitting his straps, albeit in a new band.
I am totally gushing over tracks "Fool in Love" & "Sold My Soul" with both depicting totally different yet complimentary styles this band can produce. For me, "Fool in Love" is one of my favourite tracks of the year, complete with soaring fuzzed guitar and a vocal that really tugs at you and lifts you up at the same time. Don't take this as me insulting The Honey Pies but guitar riffs remind me of earlier Kings of Leon in that with a track like "Fool in Love" the guitar sets a tone and a mood for the vocal to both follow and compliment.
Anyways, I am wild about this. You should be too.

I tried to get Poly & The Statics on my comp CD back in 2007, therefore I am hip with the times...well I used to be.
Death to Ga Ga!
Nancy, I notice you enjoy bands whose names feature robots...I think you might enjoy an (R)Adelaide band called The British Robots. Their song Trickster is pretty neat.
