Evanescence have just released the video for their new single ‘My Heart Is Broken’.
It’s the second release from their excellent return-to-form album Evanescence (which was in my Top Ten albums of 2011).

Liberty Lies, Halestorm and Shinedown all on one ticket is a very strong lineup, and I had been looking forward to it for a very long time.
It is shame then that I managed to miss Liberty Lies completely. In truth due to unbelievable car parking conditions I nearly missed Halestorm! Thankfully though, I got in with just a few minutes to spare before Lzzy and the band stormed on stage and blasted through current single ‘Love Bites (And So Do I)‘. Continue reading

We have a very British sound to our music which follows in the footsteps of The Beatles, The Who, Stone Roses, Verve and Oasis which ranges from melancholy, laid back arrangements to uptempo, guitar driven songs.
People will like your music because…
We have an honest, grass roots sound to our music which lacks pretense, and focuses on melody above all else.
Our sister website Moviescramble has just posted a review of an album soundtrack for a film which didn’t exist!! You can read the whole review for Themes For An Imaginary Film over there now…
A bit of a stretch this one for a movie review site. A review of the 2012 album Themes for an Imaginary Film by the band Symmetry featuring Johnny Jewel and Nat Walker.
During the making of the 2011 film Drive, the director Nicolas Winding Refn and star Ryan Gosling approached Johnny Jewel to provide the score. Jewel is a prolific musician and producer for a number of acts on the Italians do it better label including The Chromatics and Desire. The Chromatics album Night Drive (2007) had been extensively used while location scouting for the film took place. A score was produced by ultimately not taken up as the production turned into a much bigger deal than first thought and seasoned film composer Cliff Martinez was drafted in. The soundtrack retained some input from Jewel in the form of a Desire track and a Chromatics track (both featuring the two members of Symmetry) . Since the film was released there has increased speculation that the unused score was superior to the official one and it would receive some sort of release. Continue reading on moviescramble →
Halestorm are back with the first single from their new album The Strange Case Of… and it is entitled ‘Love Bites (And So Do I)’. The single is another classic slice of Halestorm following on where they left off. You can watch the video after the jump below and make up your own mind, but we at musicscramble love it.
As an aside, I saw Halestorm perform this and a full set in support to Shinedown in Glasgow last night. It’s the third time I’ve seen Lzzy and the band, and once again believe them a force to be reckoned with. A full review (I promise) will be posted in the coming days.
And now to the video… Continue reading

A few weeks ago Feeder came back with a new single, ‘Borders’ which is the first from their forthcoming album Generation Freakshow and first new release since charity single ‘Side by Side‘.
I loved Feeder when I heard their second release the Swim EP was back in 1996. They were a catchy, heavy rock band and for three albums continued to remain heavy and yet always have a hook in the song.
Then they lost their drummer Jon to suicide and (understandably) it all changed. The style of their music changed almost entirely with comeback album Comfort In Sound yet ironically this change led them to much greater commercial success, and a strong set of follow on albums. Continue reading
I was a big fan of Young Guns 2010 début All Our Kings Are Dead. It was a nice slice of pop tinged rock with enough attitude and confidence to interest without the arrogance to irritate. It had a few cracking singles and catapulted the band into the public eye via radio and music television and not even on just the niche channels.
Two years later the band are back with Bones and it’s a worthy successor, full of everything I liked about the first record. Truth be told, it’s not much different really, but that can’t be considered a weakness by any means when the songs are as good as these. Continue reading
