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. Over the years they have played a number of shows and venues from Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne Town Hall to headlining Victor Harbor Schoolies festival and Maroondah Festival. They have built up a solid fan base from their debut self-titled EP, sharing the stage with such bands as The Living End, British India, The Getaway Plan, Trial Kennedy and more. Not content at trying to predict and ride the next wave, the band hit Sydney to record their new EP ‘The Boy And The Heart’ at Electric Sun Studios. Now the boys are back with new songs, a fresh sound and are beginning to assert themselves as one of Melbourne’s most entertaining live bands. |
