Album Notes

"The 10 perfect pop nuggets here are ridiculously catchy throwing dream harmonies and hooks all over the place. Each song is melodic and memorable because they are sweetly wrapped up with arrangements that keep it all both fresh and accessiblestunningly well-rounded, consistently hook-driven affair, w/ power pop melodies exploding in every corner of each song. It`s perfect. It`s a truly excellent pop album full of moments that effortlessly steal you away. Listen. Proof is in the songs here. Big Time and confidently proclaimed, Extremely Highly Recommended. Not Lame Records (USA)

"cowboy shirt-wearing pop kids who revere Elvis Costello and Ben Folds as genius-types..Keyboard solos, woo-hoos and la-la-las are the order of the day. The cuteness is decisively carried over into the music. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah sounds like The Electric Soft Parade on red cordial and with extra Keyboards.. this is a record designed for summer. Sticking to vinyl car seats as you drive down the coast and longing for that first drink at the pub when you get there."-FasterLouder.

The Wellingtons are a bunch of fresh faced pop enthusiasts with their hands on their power pop records and their feet firmly planted in their Chuck Taylors. "

Power pop has never sounded as sweet as it does with the Wellingtons. Spending the last 12 months opening up for Tim Rogers and the Temperance Union, The Pictures, The Muffs, Even, Peabody, Lazy Susan, and The Boat People, The Wellingtons have been spreading their harmony laden, power chord driven pop cheer up the east coast of Australia and have recently returned from shows in L.A, New York, and New Jersey. The bands biggest influenes include Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, They Might Be Giants, Ben Folds, You Am I, and Elvis Costello.


If the Beatles circa help and the Shangri-las had somehow formed a super-group this is what theyd sound (and look) like Beat (Melbourne)
