After decades of hesitation, actor Guy Pearce has finally bitten the bullet and released his debut album.
Up until now, Pearce’s musical ambition has flown well under the radar: there was the occasional low-key gig, and only a few musical roles in his long and acclaimed acting career, like 1999’s A Slipping-Down Life, in which the actor played a musician, and both sang and played the guitar on the soundtrack.
In Broken Bones, Pearce uses his husky singing voice to strong effect, with self-penned songs that borrow in style from bands like Crowded House and Augie March.
So before you dismiss the actor outright as yet another former Neighbours star with pop star ambitions, take a listen to Broken Bones using the player below and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
