While "Eventually" is a solid ballad, I'm digging the second cut "Look At Me Now" from 2009 a lot more than the new one.

 

Deets? album, label, availability?

Dan, I would guess that that was maybe a single or something? I think, as far as I can tell, the new one is their debut full-length album.

 

I'm not 100% sure, but it's obviously with a previous vocalist. The good news, though, is that song is on the new CD. Maybe not as hard rocking as that version, but it's there and it's good.

 

Spun this one last night and I dig it. It'll seriously take me a little while to get past the fact that this is Rick from 'Home & Away' on vocals, but in all honesty he's got a pretty good voice... with some slight Ted Poley-isms at times. He goes good. The backing vocals are also awesome and it's a very consistent CD. Like a lot of bands like this, I do find the more commercial stuff to be the best on the CD - 'Eventually' and 'Heart like glass' were the 2 clear standouts for me, but the rockers are very good too. Basic, but very cool. I also found myself not wanting the CD to end, wanting more tracks too... so that's always a good thing.

 

Very fine debut and with a bit more experience I'd love to hear them release a really killer 2nd release. If you liked the British band, New Device, from a couple of year ago, check this mofo out. Probably not as good as New Device, but they're good.

 

Oh, and great production too.

 

New album from New Device in 2012 - should be a killer!

Awesome. That was a great CD. I had a look on wikipedia and myspace after my post the other day and everything looked totally dead and un-updated, so glad to hear they're still with us. I'll look forward to that one.

Not much point checking myspace anymore, FB is where the updates are.

Shotgun Alley's debut CD along with their new "Damnation" EP are available for name-your-own-price download from their website. If you're cheap, or broke, you can enter $0.00 and get them for free as advertised on their YouTube page.

Way cool for the band to offer that. It's almost criminal to take them for free though. At least throw a few bucks the band's way. It's not like you don't know what you're getting, since you can play all the songs in their entirety before buying.

Yeah, my personal thoughts is to give the album/s a rough and honest rating out of 10 and then put a dollar towards the purchase for every point out of 10.

 

I didn't realise they were offering the debut as well. Is that a hard copy they're offering, or MP3's? I have the CD anyway, but I'm curious.

The debut is mp3, 192kbps. Damnation is mp3, 320kbps.

 

They're selling hard copies of the debut CD for $16.17 (converting NZD to USD), including shipping.
