metalmaniac777 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Citing influences such as Skid Row, Guns 'N Roses, & Kiss, albeit with beefy modern production, I suspect a whole bunch of people here (OK, maybe just a few) will like what they hear when they check out this band. Click on the link below to go to their MySpace page and crank the tunes: Steadlur MySpace page Driving, catchy, energetic, melodic...and plenty of backing vocals!!! From what I can find, album comes out on May 18th. Anyone else digging this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardrockhaven Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Nice find. The track "Bumpin" is kick-ass! I hope they put a few more tunes like that on the rest of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullethead Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Not too shabby...I'll check it out when it's released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 'Bumpin' is great. The other two are not so great, but definitely an interesting band. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well, got to spin this one today. I'm undecided. It definitely kicks ass and I will go on record as saying that the opening song, 'Poison' has possibly the best backing vocal sound I have heard in decades!! It just sounds awesome. On the plus side, these guys rock hard, they keep their songs short and to the point - 12 songs clocking in at around 37mins means that on average these songs are either just under or right on the 3 minute mark, which I personally absolutely love. Too many songs seem to drag those few extra seconds to make the 3 minute mark at least, even if it's not required, but these guys just play the song and finish when the time is right. I really like that aspect. My only problem is that the songs aren't that catchy. Decent but not great hooks. Here's the track list: 01. Poison ( 2:50) 02. Bumpin' ( 2:42) 03. My Mom Hates Me ( 3:22) 04. Turn It Up ( 3:02) 05. It's Too Late ( 2:47) 06. Whisky And Women ( 3:03) 07. Angel (On The Wrong Side Of Town) ( 3:05) 08. Time ( 3:35) 09. Suffocate ( 3:00) 10. Barely Breathing ( 3:10) 11. Livin' A Lie ( 3:13) 12. Change ( 3:06) From that list, 'Poison' was great, 'Angel' is a decent mid-tempo tune and the closer, 'Change' was also one of the best. The latter being two of the more melodic songs on the disc. Yeah, I dunno. Looking at that tracklist, there were a lot of average on the verge of fillers here. Shame, 'cause they sound amazing. Hopefully they get stuck into a catchier follow-up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardrockhaven Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I finally got my copy of this in the mail from CD Universe. And, I gotta say, this is a pretty damn good album. Some cool anthems and sing along choruses make this a welcome addition to the collection. Stand out tracks for me were "Bumpin", "Turn It Up", "Whiskey and Women", and "Barely Breathing". There was maybe three songs that I would call fillers. The three minute runtime for each song worked well too. These guys can rock just fine. "My Mom Hates Me" is a tongue in cheek tune, but man it sticks in your head after just one listen. People should check these guys out.

shamus Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I am really loving this band based on the myspace tunes. Definitely will pick this one up but the Jap bonus track is so good I am contemplating buying the import version. I figured these guys would generate major heat around here. No one else like what they hear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I figured these guys would generate major heat around here. No one else like what they hear? Yeah, me too. The CD actually sounded much better a few listens down the line. Really quite a good one indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Why is this band in the 'Other' music thread? Sounds pretty good from the bits on myspace - will check outsome more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Why is this band in the 'Other' music thread? You could say that about 90% of the modern hard rock bands we discuss in this forum. I can't recall if these guys do guitar solos or not, but I do agree that this band would probably very easily fit in the Hard Rock forum based on music and image alone.

shamus Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Why is this band in the 'Other' music thread? Sounds pretty good from the bits on myspace - will check outsome more. Backed. Hardly a misfit in the hard rock category, imo. I've been trying to grab the 3 bonus tracks available on the special edition version of their debut (tracks 13, 14 and 15: Run,Run,Run/City of the Living Dead/Gimme Some More) but Amazon UK has put geographic limitations on it disqualifying overseas buyers from purchasing them. Anyone with access to Amazon UK able to buy them for me? Not much of a computer guy so not sure how you'd send them to me but I can pay you via paypal beforehand so you're not out of pocket making the purchase. Any takers, PM me or email at shamusquinn@hotmail.com And if anyone is a fan of this band, you really should check out those 3 songs.

I didn't know about the other two bonus tracks though. Good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should check the bands discussed in this forum more often - most would probably dig some of the stuff discussed here. I guess what has labelled the modern sound is the down-tuned guitar and lack of solos but that really doesnt exist much any more.........most of the modern stuff this year has smoking solos and really good melody.
