Product Description
Australian roots rock trio the Beautiful Girls, give fans of Jack Johnson and Ben Harper another reason to be cheerful. The group, fronted by singer/guitarist Mat McHugh, has a charming feel set in motion by the loose, breezy vibe. The Beautiful Girls reveal emotional and artistic depths that seem rare for such a young band. At times the group draws on Sublime's stumbling surf bum vibe which gives desperate lyrics an optimistic reggae thump.

Album Description
"I have had an opportunity to play with the Beautiful Girls over the last few years and they always connect with a cool, groovin', summertime vibe!" - G LOVE
"They're catchy, familiar, but still refreshing." - THE DRUM MEDIA (Australia)
"With the melodies of Ben Harper and the sheer power of Bob Marley in moments, you can listen to the vocals of Mat McHugh all night." - SNAP (Australia)
We're Already Gone exceeds expectation in instrumentation, performance and songcraft. Keyboards, a brass section, melodica and harp solos move the album forward, and the rhythm section's time spent on the road is evident. It swings!
Like its predecessors, We're Already Gone is a raw album and a collision of styles. It occasionally dips into the same pool of influence as other material from TBG, but that's where the similarities end. The songs, for the most part, are darker - though there are still trademark moments of melodic beauty. Mostly, it is a collision of structure and riff; a mix of art, dub and rock.

BOB MARLEY'S ILLEGITAMATE SONS ROCK REGGAE.......2006-10-20
I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BAND BEFORE I PICKED UP THE CD. I PICKED UP THIS CD BECAUSE IN ONE REVIEW IT SAID: "THE MELODIES OF BEN HARPER AND THE SHEER POWER OF BOB MARLEY." THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY ARE 100 TIMES BETTER THAN BEN HARPER, AND IF BOB MARLEY WERE ALIVE TODAY, HE WOULD HAVE THIS BAND OPEN UP FOR HIM FOREVER! BOTTOM LINE: THIS IS THE BEST CD I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE, AND I'VE HEARD OVER 100,000 CD IN MY LIFE - SO FAR. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CD FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. PRACTICALLY EVERY SONG IS A FUTURE CLASSIC. 2. THE MUSICIANSHIP IS STUPENDIUS! 3. YOU WILL LOSE ABOUT 5 POUNDS A DAY FROM ALL OF THE UNCONTROLLABLE DANCING YOU WILL BE DOING ONCE YOU PRESS PLAY ON YOUR CD PLAYER. AND FINALLY, IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, YOU WILL BE SMILING, HAPPY, AND 100 PERCENT CONTENT AFTER JUST ONE LISTEN TO THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.
instant pick me up.... this CD is a must have.......2006-08-08
i got this cd after i had "learn yourself" for about a year and i love it ten times more. this cd is not really that alike to their first album and i would reccomend buying this one first if you have never heard them because it kind of touches ground on their different talents within the group moreso than learn yourself which is mainly acoustic.

Album Details
It's Been Almost Two Years Since the Beautiful Girls Released the Very Successful 'learn Yourself' and Somehow in a Life of Tours They've Managed to Get Into the Studio and Finish Another Album. Stretch Your Expectations. On "we're Already Gone" the Band Accommodate a Collision of Styles. Think, the Beautiful Girls and Maybe If the White Stripes Ploughed Into a Lee Scratch Perry Studio You Might Turn Up Something Like 'we're Already Gone'.
Customer Reviews:
These guys rock, and this Cd rocks........2006-06-24
The Beautiful Girls are one of my favorite bands, if not #1. This Cd certainly departs from their acousitc roots, but I enjoyed the change. I also liked how they introduced some horns in this album, like in the first song, "We're already gone." This is the preeminent cd to chill with on the way to the beach. Check out 311, Slightly Stoopid, G-Love and Special Sauce, and OAR for some similar chillish.
But this album on their site.......2006-03-09

Beautiful Girls Make Beautiful Music.......2006-01-22
I love the Beautiful Girls. Their rootsy blend of folk, rock and reggae is a breath of fresh air in today's music scene. 'We're Already Gone', the Australian group's third album, marks a step in a new direction, as they leave behind most of their acoustic roots for a little harder sound. Those who enjoyed the layed back sounds of 'Learn Yourself' and 'Water' will be surprised to hear a great deal more distortion on this album, as well as more prominent drumlines and even some horns! Some highlights of this new style are the head-bobbin' "...and We'll Dance on the Ashes of What's Left", the Sublime-esque "The Biggest Lie I Ever Told", and "Girl, Lately Things Have Been Changing" -a blatant '60's rock throwback. However the cost of this experimentation may come in the form of the Beautiful Girls playing the genre game alittle bit. For example, it is easier to hear how certain songs fall neatly into the reggae or rock categories on this album than ever before. This isn't so bad, except that on some songs it seems to drown out some of the creative and original vibe that this band has so much of. For those who liked their first two albums, acoustic ditties like "Let's Take the Long Way Home" and "When I Had You With Me" will not disappoint. All in all, this is a solid album and a good listen. Just know that this is not just a new pouring into the same old mold as before, and be ready to see a new side of the Beautiful Girls... one you may not have seen before.
Great diversity.......2005-09-24
The Beautiful Girls are one of my favorite bands ever. This new release from them adds another dimension to their limited yet incredible music library. Any comparisons to Jack Johnson, who I also enjoy, should be tossed out the window after this release. TBG embarks on a more musically diverse and lyrically dark journey with "We're Already Gone". You will hear much more of the reggae and dub influence. The band jams a bit more and their new harmonica player adds a dimension. You'll get some of the classic acoustic stuff on this as well, but you will be treated to a heavier, more electric sound but with the same groove roots vibe to all of it. Took me a bit to get used to, but feel this is a great record. Buy it!
