Australian Pop/rock band Globe gave me exactly seven minutes to make up my mind about the band, no easy task. Move Closer features two tracks, the single and the B-side “Let Me Out”. At first listening the skilled rhythm section of the band really stood out; strong powerful bass and catchy drums. The so called ‘rare vocal talent of their vocalist Lorenzo’ took more time to please me. To be true, I wouldn’t have put this statement into the info leaflet if I were part of the band. The sound of his voice reminds me of Arid’s front man Jasper Steverlinck, but is not half as good.

Reading the info leaflet makes you lose the little sympathy you might have for this young band. Pretending to create world-class rock comparing their songs to real journeys... There’s nothing wrong with being confident, but the music proves that Globe is a bit overconfident (I won’t make the predictable reference to the name of the band). Globe is nothing more than just one of the many pop/rock bands influenced by most of the popular pop/rock bands like Keane, Coldplay, Radiohead and others. If you’re into these bands you might be interested in Globe.
