Girl by Eskimo Joe
Girl is an album by Eskimo Joe, released in 2001. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Wake Up”, on 1 list with a best position of #25.
Girl, the 2001 debut from Eskimo Joe, is the sound of three East Fremantle musicians figuring out how big a small indie band can get. guitarist Stuart MacLeod, Joel Quartermain behind the kit and on guitar, and singer and bassist Kav Temperley had started the group in 1997, and here they hand the controls to producer Ed Buller for a record on Modular that keeps its guitars bright and its hooks close to the surface.
Triple J caught on fast, hammering "Wake Up" and "Who Sold Her Out", and the latter even crept onto the ARIA singles chart. Then a chocolate bar gave them a push nobody saw coming: "Sydney Song" turned up in a Kit Kat commercial, and the album sold better for it, going gold and landing an ARIA nomination for Breakthrough Artist. Not a bad start for a band still learning the road.
