Opinions, guys...

[embers]

I don't know, maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I haven't to date met someone who's heard of this mighty fine underrated band. (Although their song 'Blood' has been overused in a few adverts and films within the same time period, when word got to the US that Australia exists.) Maybe that's because I'm not Australian and I only have one Australian friend.

So lads, I'd love to hear your opinions on 'The Middle East', a band from Townsville, Queensland in Australia.

so, ah... more famous songs first...

fXqSK7bKokw

'The Darkest Side', awesome harmonies by the end.

E7SSC3ex-bA

'Blood'.


...then their long awesome songs (the kind that build up):

KlSxtGqcZaA

'Pig Food', but with violins from their 13 minute 'Tsietsi' playing for the last two minutes I think.

J6SG-K7s6oQ

'Good As Gold', the original, lengthened version of 'Fools Gold' (although here they mixed the two).



aaaand finally, other songs not really listened to / heard of.

8jFSs2wN7xU

'Lonely', one of the tracks from 'Recordings Of The Middle East'.

i1qkWChQmFE

'Mt. Morgan', plus the 'Mt. Morgan End' that's the finisher to their debut album.

gNEdw62y-io

'Months', from their debut album... uplifting.

cMO1zZiQjS0

'Lie Thee Down'. They really need a studio version of it.




So yeah. I mean, I don't expect you to listen to all of those, but at least listen to some and I'd love to hear what people think.

but I haven't to date met someone who's heard of this mighty fine underrated band. I gotta say I've never heard of them.

So lads, I'd love to hear your opinions on 'The Middle East', a band from Townsville, Queensland in Australia. I also gotta say that I really think they're good! I mean really good.

Glad somebody likes it. :D

I hadn't heard of them before you joined VT but I've heard the songs you posted around the music section...they're pretty good from some of the songs I heard but I haven't listened enough to form a good opinion on them. But I know for sure I'll be checking the rest of these songs out eventually.
