Sonic Hearts Foundation – The Storm launch @ Glasgow Art Club 28/04/12

At the end of April, Musicscramble New Band Spotlight alumni Sonic Hearts Foundation launched their debut single, ‘The Storm’. To celebrate, they held a multimedia event in Glasgow which melded their unique sonic sound to imagery and played with the traditional band < stage> crowd set up.

Set in Glasgow’s Art Club, the band had set up in the middle of the room allowing the audience to move around the space. Behind there was a projector screen which added further detail. On arrival we were given a copy of debut single, ‘The Storm’ and a programme. Continue reading →

New Band Spotlight: Slasher

Slasher Band ShotIn a nice double first for Musicscramble, we go international and introduce our first metal band to the New Band Spotlight fraternity. We had a few words with Lúcio Nunes, guitarist and backing vocalist from Slasher. Amazingly, despite his native Portuguese tongue he apologised for his English and yet I barely had to edit this at all. Hell, his English might well be better than my own!

Who are you and where do you hail from?

We are Slasher, a thrash metal quintet from São Paulo, Brazil.

Please introduce the band members.

As mentioned before, we are 5 members. First, I’ll introduce the ones who are in the band since its beginning in 2008. Daniel Macedo is the vocalist, Wellington Clemente the bassist and backing vocalist and Lucas Aldigheri is the other guitarist. Taddei Roberto, drummer, joined us later in 2010, after Rafael Coradi left to dedicate to his Hard Rock project. Continue reading →

RIP MCA

I was extremely saddened to read a few hours ago of the death of Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch. It is believed he died of the cancer which he was diagnosed with in 2009.

The band was terrific on album, and even better live; a pleasure I was lucky enough to experience many times. I think then it is fitting to end this post with a clip of where my memories of Adam lie….on stage. This clip is from a phenomenal T in the Park performance I witnessed back in 1998.

Straight Lines – Freaks Like Us (2012)

Straight Lines - Freaks Like UsEver since I first heard Straight Lines début Persistence In This Game I’ve been excited to hear more from the band. It’s only been a couple of years, but they’re back already with follow up Freaks Like Us. I’m happy to report that it’s just as great if not better than their first release.

Although the album only sports 10 tracks and clocks in at 36 minutes long, you really won’t mind and as those last few seconds tick away you’ll hope your player is set to repeat so you can experience it all again. Its shortness is rather appealing to me as it just so happens to be roughly the time it takes me to get to work in the morning. If your own journey is longer, never fear; you can always listen to it again! Continue reading →

Fei Comodo – New Album News

Fei ComodoYou know something; I’m beginning to really love Pledge Music. The charitable funding source has given me much pleasure from Funeral For A Friend, Charlie Simpson, The Subways and most recently InMe. Next up is Ginger’s triple album 555%, but the primary focus of this little piece is to encourage some support for one of my new favourite bands.

Fei Comodo, recently seen touring the UK with Exit Ten, are scheduled to release their new album Behind The Bright Lights via Small Town Records on April 30th, but wanted to create a special edition of the album. They’ve teamed up with Pledge Music and are offering an exclusive hand numbered special edition in different packaging and with some bonus tracks and video content alongside the regular CD. If you don’t want the physical disc, you can pledge for a download of both the album and the special edition second disk goodies too. Continue reading →
