katie_sane Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I don't know how big Powderfinger are overseas, but I never see anyone mention them on Songfacts. Powderfinger, named after a Neil Young song, are an Australian band that have been around since 1994. They play great alternative/rock and roll music and are a relatively new band which I think would appeal to songfactors who are into rock music but have lost faith in the current music scene. They've just released a greatest hits album, Fingerprints. The album I would recommend though is 'Vulture Street' This album won them a lot of awards in Australia. It was released in 2003 and seemed to shake up a music scene that had become stagnant with Jack Johnson type performers. The album is great rock, and you can hear similarites between Powderfinger and The Black Crowes, Stereophonics and even Tom Petty. Favourite tracks would be: '(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind' 'Stumblin' 'Sunsets' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Glad you like! Yes, the 'finger have been around for a while, but their most recent album 'Vulture Street' is a return to pure pub rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
