オーストラリアにはThe Baybeatsがそうだったようにパワーポップの歴史があります。以来多くのバンドが排出されたけれど、ここ10年でThe WellingtonsのFor Friends In Far Awayに近づけたアルバムがあるかと言われれば難しい・・キラーフック、すばらしい歌詞、プロダクション。彼らはオーストラリア音楽の伝統に確実に何かをも残すだろう。.

The Wellingtons JAPAN TOUR2008 ~Heading North For The Winter~ with totos
Australia has a history of power pop that arguably stretches back to The Easybeats in the 60s. Since then countless bands have mined the genre to greater or lesser success, however it is hard to think of any album in the last ten years that comes anywhere close to The Wellingtons - For Friends in Far Away Places. Killer hooks, wry lyrics and great production, The Wellingtons do some serious justice to a proud Australian musical tradition.

This album instantly gives you an shinny moment in your day!
Its a perfect power pop album to be carried from your bedroom to your school!
David Bash, CEO of The International Pop Overthrow Festival
"When I first heard the debut disc by The Wellingtons, a keen power pop band from Melbourne, I was moved enough by their power pop smarts and delicious hooks to invite them to play the music festival I organize, International Pop Overthrow.? Though they're still young chronologically, they possessed a stage savvy that went beyond their years, leaving fans at several venues suitably impressed."
