Australian roots rock trio the Beautiful Girls, give fans of Jack Johnson and Ben Harper another reason to be cheerful. The group, fronted by singer/guitarist Mat McHugh, has a charming feel set in motion by the loose, breezy vibe. The Beautiful Girls reveal emotional and artistic depths that seem rare for such a young band. At times the group draws on Sublime"s stumbling surf bum vibe which gives desperate lyrics an optimistic reggae thump.
