After a year-long ban from the United States government, Australia's favorite Criminals, The Beautiful Girls, are back with a meaner, badder electric sound mixed with the acoustic stylings and prolific lyrics by lead singer Mat McHugh showcased on the band's latest release Ziggurats, which proves to be one of the best albums of the year.
The Beautiful Girls rock-laden effort has gained acclaim worldwide and gotten them exciting exposure in the U.S. Ready to make a name for themselves as a heavy-hitting reggae-rock touring trio, they can't wait to blow the roofs off of clubs in 22 different markets!
