If you’ve already heard of Tamarama, it’s probably because you’re either (a) exceedingly familiar with the obscure beach regions of Sydney, Australia and New South Wales, or (b) an avid Hills/City watcher who, like Whitney Port, took one look at long-haired Aussie rocker Jay Lyon and instantly fell in love.

Either way, we’ve got news for you — the band’s actually worth a listen.

It also doesn’t hurt that all four members are gorgeous, Adonis-like creatures who look like models and sound like much sexier versions of Hugh Jackman (post-Wolverine). But close your eyes, for a moment(!), and you’ll hear that the guys (who list Paul Simon, Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix among their influences) have managed to inject their folksy, reggae pop with a surprisingly modern edge. The result? A groovy, genre-defying grunge sound that makes you think the guys probsies have a Jack Johnson/ Sublime /Axl Rose Paul McCartney iPod playlist somewhere on their hard drives.

Of course, seeing is believing, so check out their DIY video for “Middle of a Magazine,” and let us know if you think the guys have enough talent, drive and staying power to stretch their 15-20 minutes of fame into a lasting musical career! Or at least a solid half hour.
