The Wellingtons are an Australian power pop band hailing from Melbourne, known for their catchy, upbeat melodies and sweet harmonies that blend raw guitars and infectious synths into pure pop-rock bliss. Since their formation, they have released several albums including *Keeping Up With The Wellingtons* (2005), *For Friends in Far Away Places* (2006), *Heading North For the Winter* (2008), and *In Transit* (2011), gaining a loyal international fanbase and touring extensively across countries like the US, Japan, Spain, and the UK. Their music has been compared to classic bands like Weezer and The Cars, and they've shared stages with notable artists such as Kim Shattuck from The Muffs. The band’s lineup includes Zac Anthony (guitar, vocals), Kate Goldby (bass, vocals), and others, with a reputation for being one of the hardest working indie pop acts worldwide.
It’s worth noting that there is also an earlier American folk group named The Wellingtons active from the late 1950s to 1971, best known for singing theme songs for classic TV shows like *Gilligan's Island* and *Davy Crockett*, but given your list of recent releases, the Australian power pop band is the correct match.
