Great Aussie band

"This is an incredible band. Very reminiscent of early English rock music. The band makes great use of Traditional folk instrumentation and themes to communicate a unique view of the world through Western Pop music. The only comparison that does them any justice is to say that the band is the Australian equivalent of Uncle Tupelo. In the end the band is just plan fun and refreshing. They prove that you can still rescue pop music from the clutches of mass production."
THESE GUYS SHOULD BE INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTARS!

"This is a great Australian band fronted by a fantastic singer/songwriter called Greg Arnold. If you love great lyrics fused with great melody, then you can't go wrong with this. Probably my favourte song on this CD is 'Blink' which to me is reminisent of the Monkees 'Daydream Believer'. If you love other Aussie bands, then check this out cos I guarantee they make most of them look third-rate. Excellent music. Highly Recommended!!!"
Yet another great album from this Australian Band

"Things of Stone and Wood have a consistent ability to deliver quality top rate music. Their sound is somewhere between the Beatles and Oasis, with a little ELO mixed in, all in a good not too very polished way. Lyrics are intelligent and not at all forced. And you must listen at least twice to the CD before deciding on them..."These Things" has 15 tracks in all (3 extra). All of them are up to their usual standards. No one song stands out as a winner, which is a trait of TOSAW. They make good albums and only a few singles. From the upbeat "These Things" and "Rock On" to the melodic "Roar" they maintain the listeners interest and attention without ever getting too much..."
