Whilst this style of modern rock isn't the favourite kind I generally rave about on this site, this band is quite a cut above many other similar bands. At this point in time they have two releases - a very good, solid debut called 'Everydaylife' from 2005 and a great EP from 2006 called 'Getting back your self esteem'. I think they have a new album due out very soon too.

 

I believe it'll be the EP that will most excite viewers of this site, as there is more variation in pace on the tunes, and the choruses are an absolute delight. These guys are a straight up hard rock band, with a modern touch. I've only spun them both once so far and can't remember song names, but there is a killer mostly piano balled off the debut and pretty much every song off the EP is excellent. Check these guys out.

 

Here's their myspace page... I can't view it at work so not sure what's on it, but hopefully a few samples:

Wow, sounds dodgy. I'm assuming you searched something like 'One less reason myspace' in Google or something? It's annoying I can't check myself.

 

I wonder if their myspace page is down...

I think Storm will win but I hope both teams lose somehow... I have never wanted neither team to win a grand final so much in my life. I really couldn't care less. Just hope it's a good game. I'm more interested in the lower grades, where the mighty Eels are in both grand finals.

 

I plan to be very drunk by the time of the "main game".

For anyone interested, these guys released another disc back in 2007 called 'Lifetime burning'. Heard it last night and it's not too bad. These guys would have to be the last, pure "modern rock" band that I know of. Most the bands we discuss in the 'other styles' thread are just melodic hard rock bands with a modern image or modern vibe... but these guys are still your traditional, slow-paced modern rock. I generally dislike this kind of stuff, but this band still writes a nice heartfelt tune with a good ear for melody. Not for everyone, but not a bad band. If I'm to believe correctly they have a new album due soon too, with a cool sounding song called 'Seasons' on it.

      Fate - reissues through Frontiers

      By Stefan · Posted

      From Frontiers: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to present the reissues of three classic albums from Fate. 'If Not For the Devil', 'Ghosts from the Past', and 'V' are all being made available digitally globally on December 1, 2023. The first single from these releases, "Butterfly," is out today, accompanied by a lyric video. The band says, "We are very happy to be working with Frontiers Music and are excited for these upcoming reissues. We are very proud of all three albums and are looking forward to having the fans, old and new alike, discover (or rediscover) our previous work." Following the release of their album 'Scratch'n Sniff' in 1990, Danish band FATE did several tours, both their own and with fellow countrymen, Pretty Maids. When guitarist Mattias Eklundh parted ways to focus on a solo career, he was replaced by local talent Soren Hoff, with whom the band recorded a couple of demos and did some gigs. This was 1993 and was the last we heard from FATE for quite awhile. The years went by, but Scandinavian rock fans did not forget about them. Eleven years after their demise, the guys got an offer to play at the Deep Impact Festival in Munich, Germany and they took that chance to make a comeback! Per Johansson (v), Peter Steincke (b), Soren Hoff (g) and temporary drummer Rasmus Duedahl made the trip to Munich and were met with great approval. Following this gig, the german indie label MTM Music rereleased two of FATE's albums: the classic 'A Matter Of Attitude' in July 2004, followed by the above-mentioned 'Scratch'n Sniff' in March of the next year. Overwhelmed by the unexpected response to the reissues, FATE decided to give it another shot and welcomed Mikael Kvist (from Swedish prog metal band Elsesphere) as their new drummer. 'V' was recorded and produced (by Tommy Hansen, who also did 'Scratch'n Sniff') and was greeted as the perfect follow-up for the band's fourth album, despite the gap of 16 years. All eleven songs are catchy tunes, characterized by strong hooks and the incredible voice of Per Johansson (also previously known as Per Henriksen), so reminiscent of Jorn Lande. 'V' was followed by 'Ghosts From the Past' (2011) and 'If Not For the Devil' (2013) solidifying the return of one of Copenhagen's favorite heavy metal sons. The reissues come with a total of four unreleased bonus tracks! 'If Not For the Devil' Track List: 1. Reaping 2. If Not For the Devil 3. Bridges are Burning 4. Feel Like Making Love 5. Gambler 6. Hard to Say Goodbye 7. Made of Stone 8. Man Against the Wall 9. My World 10. Turn Back Time 11. Taught To Kill 12. Gimme All Your Love 13. Chasing The Dragon (Bonus track) 'Ghosts From the Past' Track List: 1. Children of the Night 2. Miracle 3. Seeds of Terror 4. Fear of the Stranger 5. At the End of the Day 6. All That I Want 7. Follow Your Heart 8. Daddy's Girl 9. Moving On 10. Murder 11. The Last Time 12. I Believe In Rock'n'Roll 13. The Other Side 14. All I Wanna Do (Bonus Track) 'V' Track List: 1. Butterfly 2. Heaven's Crying Too 3. Everything About You 4. Ecstasy 5. Nobody Loves You the Way I Do 6. Burned Child 7. I'll Get By 8. Life 9. Fate 10. Memories Won't Die 11. Toxic 12. Sweet Angel (bonus track) 13. Bleed (bonus track)

      Vixen - Red

      By CMGiordano · Posted

      It's not a bad song, but I couldn't finish listening to it. After playing in and around edgy pop punk bands that thought they were unique because they took some cues from their dad's vinyl collection all through middle and high school, I've heard this song so many times, I've just heard it so many times before. I agree with Auslander that it's got kind of a Paramore vibe, but I also agree that that isn't necessarily a good thing.  I don't know. It comes off as... disingenuous to me?
