A little help

Hi guys,

I'm after the name of an Australian band who have just released a new album. They are a quartet and have been lauded as the best Aussie band of the the last ten years. Their latest album has been getting five star reviews. Their sound is considered a mix between Coldplay and U2.

Any ideas??

Is it Eskimo Joe? They're not a quartet, but they probably come under the other things.

Evermore maybe? I dunno how they could get 5 star reviews but just released an album.

I reckon the saddest of punks is right on. Eskimo Joe just released Inshalla, might be seeing them in August actually. Their previous two albums are crackers. And have been properly big for 5 years or so now.

No. I remembered it now they are called The Temper Trap.

They are from Melbourne but have been doing a lot of touring in England. Their debut album is out in a week.

They are definately influenced a lot by U2 and have said so themselves.

Sounds quite a lot like Where the streets have no name.
