I Heart Hiroshima posses that care-free attitude so common in bands from Queensland. They saunter on to stage, fiddle around a bit, start with no sort of introductions and progress through their set like they were just hanging out in your front room on a summer evening.
The songs are bright, generally cheery and brimming with sparse arrangements of catchy melodies and deliciously captivating contrasting harmonies. A fair chunk of the crowd have turned up for I Heart Hiroshima (who are supporting Rocket Science) and are joyfully jumping in front of the stage, shouting eager calls of support and praise for a band they all embrace with wide open arms.
