Synopsis

Album Description
Ben Lee first came to prominence fronting Noise Addict, a suburban Sydney based punk quartet modeled on Fugazi. The average age was 14 at the time & that time was near eons before Silverchair! Noise Addict won the support of their indie heroes, both Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) & Mike D (Beastie Boys) released the band on their labels. When the band all but came to a screaming halt in 1994 Ben Lee was catapulted into the spotlight with his charming satirical tribute to Evan Dando, 'I Wish I Was Him'. Re-emerging in '99 with his platinum selling album (in Australia) 'Breathing Tornados', Lee had well & truly etched his name into the face of indie pop. His 2002 opus, 'Hey You, Yes You' is an awesome example of this young man's musical genius. Produced by Dan The Automator (Gorillaz, Primal Scream). Modular/EMI.

"This is a great cd, not as good as some Noise Addict stuff, but for me, the two are on completely different levels. Hey You, Yes You is a pop album, plain and simple, with hints of rock and folk and indie. All the songs are great, but my favorites are Something Borrowed, Chills, and Room to Bleed...Something Borrowed Something Blue is a classic rockish pop song, Chills is a fantastic slow Holcombe Waller-esque ballad, and Room to Bleed is just a great song. I would reccomend this album to most anybody, even indie/punk jerk-off hipsters like myself... just take it for what it is. Quality, catchy music."
