Fabulous New Band

This band is extremely hot at the moment. After being signed by two record companies they went to L.A. recorded a debut album then fought with the label over something which they are forbidden to discuss. The result of which is their album was never released. Undaunted they returned to Vaancouver changed their name recorded it an EP themselves and released it free on their website.

Give it a listen. These guys are fabulous. If you like classic rock you can do no better. They sound like The Stones if they had been frozen in time right after they released Exile On Main Street, with a little bit of Lynyrd Skynyrd thrown in for good measure.

GREAT NEWS

The Verve are back together!

Who? You say.

The Verve were one of the best bands of the 1990's. Known mostly here in North America for their big hit Bittersweet Symphony The Verve actually produced three brilliant, critically acclaimed albums between 1992 and 1997 . If Radiohead were the thinking man's rock band then The Verve were the feeling man's band. Musically and lyrically complex their music was none the less embraced by a generation that felt lost and ignored:

''Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life /Try to make ends meet /Your a slave to money then you die'

Well the band is back together and touring. They just performed an awesome set headlining the closing night of the Glastonbury Festival their native England during which they sounded as good as they did in their heyday. More importantly they also played new music, from their upcoming enigmatically named album Forth.
