SHEPPARD "bombs away" cd,2014
this album.....................#2 AU.......#31 US.......#81 UK
singles:
"Geronimo"....................#1 AU.......#53 US.......#15 UK
"something's missing"....#35 AU
"smile".........................#63 AU
"let me down easy"........no chart action
"a-grade playa".............no chart action
Debut set from these Aussie alt-folk guys(and gals).....
lots of modern folky sounds on this one,a bit Mumfordy in places(but better than those guys!)....
band received the "breakthrough artist" award at the ARIA's last year and rightfully so IMO....
album has gone five-times platinum here in Australia and platinum in NZ also(but theres no chart action listed for the album over there for some reason!
all up a good album of catchy tunes, surprised to find my favourite track didn't chart here(maybe it wasn't released here-that's all I can think of)
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: find someone
best track: let me down easy
