Search - Art of Fighting :: Second Storey

Unmissable elegance and beauty

"Like Augie March, Art of Fighting are an Australian band who lack the mainstream attention they deserve. Australia is getting into the habit of producing wistfully beautiful and elegant music, and Art of Fighting is no exception. This is their second major release, and, like its predecessor Wires, it is both lyrical and musical perfection. This music is beautiful and delicate and powerful at the same time. The first track, Along the Run, is a song of unspeakable brilliance and beauty, and sets the tone for what is a consistantly remarkable album. Every song until the closer, Heart Translation, is, again, for lack of a more appropriate word, purely beautiful. I cannot recommend this band highly enough. Deserves 100 stars in comparison to some of the other rubbish out there these days. Buy it, tell your mates about it, just listen to them somehow!"

Love it!

"I really love this album. This is the first AOF album I have ever bought and I will definately invest in Wires now as well. Music with a haunting meaning that prefoundly touchess your soul and is so beautiful to listen to. Highlights for me are "Along the run", "Sing song", and "Where trouble lived". I wish Peggy Frew sang on a few more tracks, not that I dont absolutely love Ollie's beautiful voice.
