Saw this featured on another board and have to say that this is some of the best new stuff Ive heard all year!

 

All the songs featured on their myspace are excellent!

 

Especially 'Story Of Life' ( :bowdown: ) and 'Catch The Feeling'..........bloody awesome solos going on as well.

 

This is really great great stuff - kind of like Work Of Art with a modern sound.

 

Unsigned...........WTF!??

 

Looks like they have an album being recorded though and should be released soon.

 

If the whole thing is like this, I can see a potential album of the year on the cards.

Not bad mate. Sounds like a mix of, as you say Work of Art and someone like Eclipse. Sounds pretty good, but tone it down a litte, mate. Not sure why you're that excited! :lol:

 

To be honest, 'Story of my life' wouldn't make it onto my Ipod let alone list of best songs of 2009 and I have a bad feeling this CD would just be another release amongst the pack this year. but I'll give 'em a go when it's released. :) Nice find mate.

Yeah, it's nice mate but not any better than most the stuff off that last Eclipse disc. Which was great but nothing from that made it onto my Ipod either. :)

Sounds good. Where is Melodicrock Records based? I was hoping it was based in Australia and there'd be nice inter-Australia postage rates. Doesn't look like it though. :(

Hi folks,

Glad you dig these guys...

I was working with them right from the start and was going to snare them no matter what! Just fantastic tunes...fresh and classic at the same time.

 

Geoff - everything is pressed here, so e-mail me for Aussie postage rates - I'll work out the cost price for you. I will take a look at what I can do about that for future. 95% of my sales are international, so that's what rates are based on.

 

Cheers,

Andrew.

 

PS. More Degreed samples soon.

Thanks Andrew... sounds good. :) I wasn't sure if the CDs were pressed and despatched in Australia too. I'd be keen to pick up a few of the titles with some nice Aussie postage rates. ;)

Well after first commenting on these guys back in June 2009 (!!!), Im thrilled to have the final product in my hand.

 

All I say is well done Andrew for signing these guys and getting this album out - this is really a great slab of melodic rock.

 

I can honestly say that I like every track on offer, but the real favs are the uptempo killer songs with amazing choruses and there are quite a few of them -

 

'BOD', 'A Little Bit', 'Just Imagine', 'Story Of Life', 'Catch The Feeling' and 'Keep Me Alive' are all amazing in my opinion.

 

Also I absolutely love this dudes voice....he reminds me of the original singer of Tupelo Honey (on the Machines and Robots EP).....and that is high praise indeed, as he was awesome

 

Another winner in 2010!

 

(PS Andrew, if you read this.....did that guy from Sahara Rain ever get in contact with you??)

      Sebastian Bach New Single... What Do I Got To Lose

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      So finally got around to listening to the album (still waiting for CD to arrive but at least a digital version came with the order). This is defo the best album he has released since leaving Skid Row, and is better than anything released by his former band (even the Erik fronted album). I liked his solo stuff, but he was always trying too hard to be modern and heavy, so there were very few actual stand out tracks. On here though it really is more of a throwback. While not quite classic Skid Row, it is probably as close as we will ever get, kinda sitting somewhere sonically between the first two albums. The only downside for me is the fact there is only one ballad and it doesn't even come close to the two that featured on Angel Down. Seb took a long break between this and his previous album, and I think in that time he has taken time to reevaluate what he wants to do musically. As stated earlier, even the album cover is a throwback with it being a painting his father started decades ago. Hopefully any future releases will stick to this style, and not return to the style used on his last few albums.

      White Hotel - Walk By Faith

      Not sure, but sounds like christian lyrics to me. And could'nt find it on HH yet. 25 years ago I would have loved this, today I'm atheist and do not listen anymore to such... explicit lyrics.

      I got it for free when I bought the Dirty Americans album. It's a cool little sampler.

      Erik Gronwall leaves Skid Row

      By tts42572 · Posted

      Agree. Have been a fan of Halestorm and Lzzy....she's fantastic. That said though, this Skid Row thing just feels "off" to me.  She sounds fine but I think it's simply that hearing a female voice do the songs just doesn't seem right after listening to the originals for so long.   I much prefer hearing Lzzy in Halestorm.  I'd rather see her concentrate on that and also concentrate on doing new music that's more in line with their first 2 albums!

      Melodic Hard Rock Song of the Day

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      From memory it was recorded after the original pledge release of Beautiful things and was added as a bonus song when it became available to the general public.
