5.0 out of 5 stars Killing Heidi will one day take over the world, February 6, 2000

This review is from: Weir (Audio CD)

I spent this past year in Australia and returned with close to 30 CD's all by Australian artists. My two most treasured purchases were Killing Heidi's Weir and Mascara singles. I spent a month in Shepparton, not far from where Ella and Jesse are from and met heaps of people who know them and everybody had nothing but words of praise for this brother and sister team. Ella, at only 17, has a voice of an angel driven by a powerful determination and belts out her very own lyrics in her very own style. This band is one to watch in the future. I for one will do all I can to bring Killing Heidi to Canada.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another strong Aussie talent, November 30, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Weir (Audio CD)

The past year has brought about a surge of new Australian talent in Australia. The debuts have sprung from everywhere and encompass a wide array of musical styles. Bachelor Girl, Vanessa Amorosi, Diana Ah Naid (not a debut but a rebirth), Madison Avenue, S2S, and Joanne have all jumped out from the woodwork to entrench themselves quite firmly in the top 10 Australian singles at one time or another. Perhaps ironically then the best Australian debut of 1999 is yet to reach the National top 10 with their excellent single "Weir". Killing Heidi are the most exciting Australian debut artists in a long time (I would say since Silverchair) and throughly deserve the success I'm sure will soon follow. What amazes me about Killing Heidi is the fact that they are able to use the youthful exuberance (Ella is only 16) and mix it with a naivety that sounds remarkably knowing and intelligent. Amazing vocals, strong lyrics and melodies and really good instrumentation, Killing Heidi's "Weir" is the Australian single of the year. It should be marketed overseas for their sake as well as the sake of the Australian Music Industry. Talent like this deserves to be heard. Warning: If Killing Heidi perform live anywhere near you GO and see them. Like most Aussie bands they are EXCELLENT live.

5.0 out of 5 stars They Should Really Market This In The U.S., November 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Weir (Audio CD)

It always seems that the U.S. is 6 mos. to 1 year behind when it comes to bringing artists from other countries. Well, it is a shame the Killing Heidi has not been released in the U.S. yet. The instrumentation of "Weir" is a blend of alternative and folk music that gives me goosebumps. I think it would appeal to a wide audience in the U.S. and I don't know why record companies are so adamant about exposing their artists. Take a look at Michael Learns to Rock for example.
