Brooke Russell and the Mean Reds write songs about bad decisions and broken hearts, in the loveliest way possible.

Brooke Russell and the Mean Reds write songs about bad decisions and broken hearts, and if you don't take a moment to wrap your ears around their gritty tunes, you might find yourself composing some sorry ditties of your own.

The debut album from the five-piece, Poor Virginia, is chock full of brassy interludes and hip-swaying beats, perfect for the dimly lit bars they frequent in their hometown of Melbourne. But it's not all the gloomy blues – they've managed to weave a bit of country, some dreamy folk and a dash of swing in there too, so there's plenty to get your toes a-tappin', whatever your mood.
