WOW! Is all I can say about the second album from the Rubens, true talent means that second album is not difficult but even better than the first and that is what the Rubens achieved on their second release Hoops.
The title track from the album has become there biggest to date. Reaching number 25 on the national ARIA charts and also a hit on commercial radio, Hoops was huge. The lead single from the album Hallelujah was released in May and smashed it's way across the radio around the nation.
The Rubens second album was solid with great album tracks like the Night is on My Side and the brilliant Switchblade this was a terrific release all up.
Selling out shows across the nation, growing their already loyal fan base The Rubens are a band who could in fact become one of Australia's great bands. Without Powderfinger and Silverchair the market in the indie/rock field can now be filled successfully by bands like the Rubens and Boy & Bear.
They have come along way from Triple J Unearthed, the Rubens are one of this years and the final for this week Australian Album of the Year Nominations. Another 5 nominations coming at you from Monday. On Sunday the Top 20 Australian Singles of 2015 will be online as part of my Summer Music List features.
Plenty more Australian music and lists, nominations to come as we are halfway through Australian Music Month.
