Halestorm – Love Bites (So Do I) (2012)

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

Feeder – Borders (2012)

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

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

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

On Boxing Day, potentially one of the biggest movies of the year is released. “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” stars Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, is directed by David Finch, and – most importantly from the Musicscramble viewpoint – has a soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

I am a massive fan of Trent Reznor’s work under Nine Inch Nails as well as his other projects and soundtracks such as last years “The Social Network”, and so I was excited to hear that not he and Ross would be scoring the movie. As part of that score they have covered Led Zeppelin’s ‘The Immigrant Song’ with the help of Karen O of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’s. Now that part I found a little disconcerting as I really don’t like them very much at all, but I’m very happy to report that they have come up with a potential masterpiece here. Continue reading
