The Rubens are band we cottoned onto last year when their first single "Lay It Down" dropped - I included them in Top 20 Aussie Indie Bands to Watch in 2012 just off the back of that one track - it's that good. Since then, they've been picked up by King of Leon's management and recorded an album in the states, produced by David Kahne (he did The Strokes later 3rd record "Last Impressions of Earth", Lana Del Rey's new one + more).
With all that said, it's probably best you get out to see these guys before they get massive and pushed into extensive overseas tour schedules: amazing for them, crapola for fans back home.
