Best Before
In the Melbourne music scene, it seems musical fashions and trends change almost as often as the weather. However, unlike the completely erratic weather patterns, some things are true of all good artists. A solid work ethic is a must, though time and effort alone cannot buy the connection between a great singer and his audience. Like a rainbow in the storm; Best Before emerge amongst an increasingly heavy music scene to re-kindle the free spirited joy of a smooth melody, the delight of a cheeky bass line and the liberating honesty of a simple love song shared amongst friends and strangers.
