Little River Band

Australian rock band formed in Melbourne in 1975, known for polished multi-part vocal harmonies and late 1970s/early 1980s commercial success with melodic pop-rock songs.

Key contributors mentioned in reviews and credits include Graham Goble, Glenn Shorrock, Beeb Birtles, David Briggs and Wayne Nelson. The 1981 album Time Exposure involved producer George Martin. The band had notable success in Australia and the United States.

The review praises Little River Band's polished, professional vocal harmonies and melodic songwriting, singling out 'Take It Easy On Me' and 'Night Owls'. It notes impressive multi-part vocals and twin-lead guitar work. The rhythm section is criticized as unadventurous, leaving the band pleasant but not always compelling. The reviewer recommends Time Exposure (1981) as a good starting point.

For:Fans of 1970s-80s melodic pop rock, vocal harmony groups and classic rock radio listeners.
