The Red Sun Band - Like An Arrow.

I've only just discovered The Red Sun Band due to this song.
I mean, sure I'd heard of them, but never actually listened to them, until the marvelous Triple J played this song and I almost had an orgasm because of it. Well, not literally, but I'm tired of drumming into people's heads how much I love music.

So I went and had a further look into this band from Sydney, Australia, and I think I like what I heard. In the meantime, let's focus merely on this song.

The vocals are soft but not so soft that you can hardly hear them or only resemble somebody breathing in rhythm to backing music. Very pleasant vocals indeed. Not forced or overly loud either like Amy Lee from Evanescence fame's, but then again these are two very different musical acts.

It's a simple song. Simple songs are pretty much awesome. Plus it's also nifty because then you can easily learn them on guitar and whatnot. The male backing vocals are lovely, they totally contrast the lead vocals. It's brilliant.

And the selling point of this song? It's damn catchy. Catchy songs can go one of two ways; the good catchy where you want to listen to the song over and over until you memorise the words or the bad catchy where you want to stick dynamite in your ears to blow up your brain. This is the former, thank god.

Let's see.. Who could I recommend this to.. Fans of artists like Sarah Blasko and Little Birdy. Hey let's see who last.fm compares them to.. It says Sarah Blasko and Little Birdy also. HA! SCORE!
Apparently, they're influenced by Cat Power, so Cat Power fans heed this blog and listen! THey toured with The Shins.. Hmm, I guess they could have a Shins-y feel to them. I think I summed that up nicely, don't you?
