“When they are not on duty with STARS, Mick Pealing and Nick Charles often perform around the traps in Melbourne as an acoustic duo, delivering a set of appealing roots/blues songs with two distinct qualities their peers lack. Nick Charles’ expression, fluidity and feel as a guitar player has seen him revered by the roots rock fraternity in this country for over 25 years. He has several solo albums and US tours under his belt and his music is deserving of far more success. Mick Pealing is the best vocalist in Australia, and has been for decades. Combined, Pealing and Charles are force to be reckoned with, and if their new single ‘Hiding In Plain Sight’ is any indication, their forthcoming debut album ‘Songs From This Town’ looks to be something special. I’m enamoured with the stunning ‘Hiding In Plain Sight’. Sublimely arranged with echoing guitars that slide behind bold strong vocals, this is stunning. Part roots/folk – part early 70s California soft rock, (that’s a compliment) this song holds the listener with its strong melodic lines and reflective themes. The truth is always there if you look for it. Forget the Americana songbook. Pealing and Charles are writing their own.” - Col Gray
