The Wellingtons continue to inject all that is cute, smart, and sweet into their crafted up-beat power pop tunes. It’s the sound that’s brought them devoted fans in the U.S, Canada and Spain and major success in Japan where sales of their first two albums have led the band to tour live houses, packed with smiling fans in many of their major cities.

Their third album ‘Heading North For The Winter’ is a big leap forward for the band. The album contains a considered, sophisticated group of songs recorded by a first class production team. The glistening, saccharine melodies bound out of your stereo and instantly put a smile on your face. Beneath those vocal hooks, the raw guitars, driving rhythm section and infectious sythns create pure pop-rock bliss much like Weezer and The Cars did before them. Heading North For The Winter is simply an exciting, punchy, jump around your room record, providing the perfect soundtrack to a corny American teen movie.

The Wellingtons also invited Kim Shattuck, front woman of legendary Los Angeles pop band The Muffs to sing backing vocals on the record after they played together in the U.S. in 2006.

2006 also saw The Wellingtons perform at the International Pop Overthrow festival in L.A. (as part of a national tour) and receive glowing praise from revered power pop publications and record labels world wide.

The band continue to maintain a hectic touring schedule with shows in their 2008 worldwide tour covering Australia, Japan, Spain, USA and the UK.
