The Beggars are a three piece acoustic band with strong folk, country and pop roots. Formed in 2006 they've had top 10 hits in Europe. Australian Songbook's their fourth release.
There is some of the rich acoustic harmony of 60s Australian supergroup The Seekers’ in The Beggars’ DNA. So their 1965 hit A WORLD OF OUR OWN was a natural choice for the band.

An uplifting track to start your day.

| Hostile Little Face - Return To Sender Pop, Rock, Chill, Acoustic | 21/04/2011 |
Each track has an element of familiarity and yet the distinct blend of dynamic, thoughtful instrumentation and passionate, catchy melodies creates a sound that draws you in and connects.
Sounds of both longing and uplifting. A song that builds. It’s about being lonely away from home (when I was in Melbourne) and writing a letter to somebody that makes you feel at home even though it’ll never be sent. And that even though it’s sad, you’ll get back. Eventually.
Other tracks by Hostile Little Face: Reveal II - Lights Off

'Underground' is a jaunty acoustic pop piece, the vocals range from smoky huskiness to a neo-operatic flourish at the end. There's a darkness in the characters in the song that is compelling.
