Free Straight Lines Track

Straight Lines - Freaks Like UsFollowing yesterday’s free Soulfly track offer, today XtraMile Recordings have released a free Straight Lines track called “Freaks Like Us”.

I’m a huge fan of the band and featured their first album Persistence In This Game in my “8 Albums You’ve Probably Never Heard But Should” feature, so I urge you to grab the freebie, check out the video for forthcoming first single “Half Gone”, and go buy the first album too!

You can grab the free song directly from XtraMile Recordings landing page.

“Freaks Like Us” is the title track from their second album, due for release on 23rd April.

Lamb of God – Resolution (2012)

Lamb of God - ResolutionLamb of God kick off the 2012 with what I consider to be one of the most anticipated releases of the year already. It’s been just over two years 2 years since Wrath was unleashed to a decent reception. Certainly it was the most polished and well produced album they’d ever created and the same is true of Resolution.

There’s absolutely no doubt who you’re listening to as it’s very distinctly a Lamb of God creation with all it’s volume, powerful drumming, glorious guitar work with some blistering solos, and the ear splitting shrieks wails and screams, but for me there’s just something missing to give it that ‘must listen’ factor.

Straight Lines – Half Gone

Cracking up and coming alt-rock outfit Straight Lines have released a video for their first single from the forthcoming second album. ”Half Gone” will be released on February 13th via Xtra Mile Recordings.

As yet untitled, the second album should see a 2012 release and I couldn’t be happier as first album “Patience In This Game” is one of my favourites of the last few years. Continue reading →

Paul’s Top Ten Albums of 2011

It’s that time of year when all you get on TV, radio, magazines and the Internet are reviews of the last twelve months. So with that in mind, here’s my top ten of twenty eleven :)

Gareth’s already posted his and surprisingly there’s little symmetry between our choices with only one album sharing a spot in both charts. Assured though there were a lot of great released in 2011 and this was a difficult list for me to compile. But I was forced to listen to them all again as a ‘precaution’, so it wasn’t exactly a hardship. Continue reading →

Gareth’s Top 10 Albums of 2011

There were hundreds of albums released in 2011, and followers of musicscramble would have read some of our reviews as they release through the year. However, looking back over 2011 and despite many top bands returning with album releases it felt like there was a somewhat of a ‘stunning album drought’.

Unlike previous years it was a little easier to make a Top Ten albums list for 2011, but culling the list of strong albums down to ten was still difficult – just easier than previous years. Without further comment here is my list. Continue reading →
