Quick Review: Baby Jane - Are You Listening
Hailing from Australia and not to be confused with the Swedish band Baby Jane. The Australian Baby Jane has just released their debut album "Are You Listening".
 
Baby Jane plays modern Hard Rock with references back to the 80's. Baby Jane got Michael Wagener to mix the album. Wagener was responsible for several platinum albums in the late 80's.  
 
The music of Baby Jane is straightforward. The songs are driven by crunchy guitars and singer Andy Smith is an absolute pleasure throughout the album.
 
The last part of the record is the strongest. The riffs are original and the music grooves. The music possesses power and the crispy guitars and soaring vocals drags you immediately.
 
Baby Jane needs to work a bit more on the choruses, which often are one-liners repeated. Otherwise Baby Jane is a serious contender to becoming future Rock stars that certainly do well outside Australia.
 
Baby Jane has the ammunition to make it big: great tone, great singer, groove and great songs. Michael Wagener's mix suits the music and it is interesting to see what work Wagener could do on their second album.
 
Recommendable songs: Twenty Too Many, Four Rusted Egos and Are You Listening
 
Baby Jane is a flower about to blossom. They still need to progress but songs the 3 aforementioned ranks among the best songs of 2011.

Style: Hard Rock

Rating: 6.5/10
