KILLINH HEIDI:
A four person rock band from Melbourne. They have been one of the most popular bands in Oz this year. Their two hit songs, 'Wier' and 'Mascara' were what made them really popular. Their debut album, 'Reflector' was number one album in oz for a number of weeks. No matter what style of music you like I recommend you take a listen to this band, they are very very good!  MADISON AVENUE: A two person band that are also from Melbourne. Their style is mainly pop, but it varies from song to song. the best song they've released so far has been 'Don't Call Me Baby', that's the song that made them well-known. They had eight nominations at the ARIAs and took home three awards with them. If you like pop and a bit of techno or dance music, then you will enjoy listening to Madison Avenue.
