Drawing inspiration from successful musical ventures such as The Black Keys and the White Stripes, Boson Higgs was formed not just to allow its members to express themselves and bring some kick butt music to the scene, but also to put Australia on the map as having the same kind of passion and talent. So far, I’d say they’ve been successful. Having kept a busy schedule over the last little while – recording, performing and of course writing – the boys are keeping the momentum going with several more shows lined up for the upcoming weeks.

Boson Higgs manage to stay true to their musical inspirations and influences, but bring something unique to stage with their lyrics and musical arrangements. I found Get Some to be particularly captivating. It’s the kind of piece that keeps the listener on their toes – the vocal which alternates between singing and amore poetic spoken word, the guitar and drum in the background which may sound erratic at first but actually complement eachother very well.
A variety of vocal and other effects bring something to the music that sets the band apart from others, yet flows so well with the style, they will be right at home when they play the Lair at Metro on May 18th.
