Bag Raiders - Bag Raiders

A dance pop duo from Australia, Bag Raiders has had a good start right off the bat.  With their first album, Bag Raiders, this fantastic duo quickly broke into success in 2010.  Charting on various boards around the world they sure put themselves in my "Watch list" for new releases.  Unfortunately it seems that they have yet to release any new material.  Honestly this isn't a bad thing, it's just the same frustration I get whenever I listen to a good, new artist...  Suffering the wait of new material!  The only kind of new material they have been releasing are remixes, which don't particularly interest me.  As far as this album goes, it's a very solid dance pop album with some good house music songs.  It has a few REALLY good songs, and some other forgettable tracks.

The main success of this album is Shooting Stars, with good reason.  The song is an upbeat, fun song that makes me want to dance along every single time.  Other good songs include Gone Away, featuring great female vocals in another song that makes the beat flow through you.  Last song I wanted to include is Snake Charmer, a house music song that keeps a nice, steady beat.

If you enjoy dance pop and house music, this is a good, entertaining album that you might want to give a listen to.  If it isn't your music preference, at least give a listen to "Shooting Stars".  It's an amazing song and it was what brought me to the album in the first place.  Hope you guys enjoy!
