Three Boxes / Carus Thompson
Source: From the West Australian Newspaper, June 28th 2007 After near on a decade rocking live audiences around the globe, Carus Thompson is finally rocking the speakers with Three Boxes, his third full-length studio album and second with his band the True Believers. Shedding his alter-ego as a roots and reggae roller, this WA-born songwriter has made a welcome return to the age-old tradition of Aussie folk rock, inspired by the poignant lyrics and rhythms of Paul Kelly and Tim Rogers in solo mode. With anthems like Crash and Last Days of Winger, Carus finally consolidates the place of his band in a sensational barrage that reaches back to a golden era of Australian pub rock. But it�s on the politically driven Downtown and Missing the Point that Carus proves his importance as an inspired young man with a wise word or two to say about the state of the nation. Australia has been waiting for Three Boxes |
