Very cool, I like their music

 

Yeah, the debut was really good. I wasn't so keen on the second album though.

My thoughts as well. First album was great. It sounded almost like an unreleased Cinderella album. Their second release went with a sound that was mostly modern hard rock garbage. I didn't even know this band was still around.

Well well well. I just listened to the samples of their new album here: http://www.allhardrock.com/artists/profile/miss-crazy

 

I will be buying this. Only 1 song I didn't really care for (track 2). "Hail Bruce Lee" was a kickin tune! I for one am glad to hear they have gotten back to the sound of their first album.

Yep, this sounds pretty good. I liked track 2 a lot; probably my favourite of the tracks I listened to! :nyanya:

 

Really nice guitar work throughout, good solos and I agree that "Hail Bruce Lee" is a great song. Sounds like a massive improvement on the previous album.

You guys HAFTA go back and listen to their second release. I agree it is not as good as their first, but only but just a bit. There are some great tracks on it. Ok enough about II.

 

Grip, this does sound really good...hoping for an actual CD.

Yeah mate, glad someone else said it because I'm always left scratching my head at negative comments about the 2nd disc. I like both discs about the same and definitely did not see any distinct change in style between the two. One of those sneaky little mysteries that sneak in every now and then. If you love the debut, well worth revisiting the 2nd for what will no doubt be a pleasant surprise. :)

I don't remember thinking the style had changed significantly, although it was a while ago. I just thought the songs were a lot weaker than the debut. th_shrug-1.gif

I gave it a couple spins when it first came out and I remember not being able to stand it, which crushed me because I loved the first album. But I will definitely give it another listen.

Nope. Still greatly dislike their second album. It's like Dirty Looks - Slave To The Machine...I want to like it, but I just do not like the sound and style they went with on this album. Tracks 5 & 6 are good enough though. :)

What the fuck?? So now the band isn't even listed at allhardrock.com and the link I posted earlier is now a dead link. Man I hate that! So now where can I find info on the band and why the hell do bands and/or labels do this?

I liked the small 4 song cluster of 'Hail Bruce Lee,' album highlight ''All About You,' 'Knowing Me,' and 'Straight Till The End.' Four good tunes, but aside from that I think the rest is solid but not amazing. Probably their weakest disc yet, but still pretty good hard rock. I scored it a 73%.

Markus told me it's a digital release only, but maybe if enough people ask... ya never know... :D

 

Geoff, I agree... "All About You" I played on my ARfm show last week, definitely catchy, but as a whole I don't think this touches the first one.

I spoke to Ronnie Borchert (Markus) a few years ago and he said he was pretty much shifting over to digital only from now on, so I wont be expecting anything else by him or his alter ego on CD unless he signs to a bigger label.

I presume that confirms that this one won't be coming out on CD? I don't mind downloading individual songs, but when I want I whole album I want the CD in my sweaty paw.

 

Very annoying that Hardrockhaven and Rock Eyez Webzine each has a "CD review", when there isn't an actual CD. The band even says on their website, "Miss Crazy CDs are available on iTunes", which makes no sense at all! :angryfire:

He did mention on Facebook that there would be physical release. He did not give a time frame on when it might happen.

Really? Cool.

 

I looked on Facebook and couldn't find anything about a CD. Someone had asked the question on the band's page, but one had answered it.

 

Good news if true, I'll wait for the CD as this sounds like it could be really good.

I asked him on his page. He just replied with a Yes. I'm hoping so, since I don't do the download thing.

    • That'd be cool. I will be buying their last album soon as the album is at least cheap even if the postage isn't. Think it was like £8 for the CD and £15 for the postage.
    • Second CD was a CDr, that the band sold at their gigs. I will keep my eyes on finding EP, which was release before album, and first album Captain.  
    • Resurrection Mary - Moon Over Babylon
    • I had completely forgot about this album. This acoustic rendition put it back on my radar. Now it's on heavy rotation.     
    • "Sound Of A Breaking Heart" by Prophet  
    • New album 'IV Evermore' out August 30th on Pride & Joy Music: Constancia was formed in 2007 by former Token keyboardist Mikael Rosengren. He got in touch with guitarist Janne Stark (Overdrive, Grand Design, Locomotive Breath, Merryweather Stark etc) and asked him to lay down some guitars. Janne loved the songs and got more and more involved in the process, and the seeds of Constancia were sown. Peter “TrumPeter” Svensson (Mercy, Faith, Overheat, Locomotive Breath, Mountain of Power) came in on drums and the band was completed with bass player Michael Müller (Jaded Heart) and singer David Fremberg (Andromeda), and in 2009 the band’s debut “Lost And Gone” was released. The band labels their music “melogressive hard rock” – melodic, a bit progressive and a little bit aggressive In 2015, the band’s second album “Final Curtain” was released in a regular and special edition (featuring three bonus tracks). The album saw Linus Abrahamson (Andromeda) replacing Müller. Maintaining the six-year gap, the band’s third album “Brave New World” was released in 2021. The album saw UK based singer Pete Godfrey (In Faith, Blood Red Saints) replacing David Fremberg (who was too busy with his studio and other projects). Breaking the six-year gap, the band has managed to finish a new album in only three years!! “IV Evermore” (yes, there’s a pun in there) features twelve new songs that show the band at an even higher level. This time the “melogressive” label fits even better, with some songs having an even more aggressive punch with some heavier riffs yet maintaining the high degree of melodies and hooks. A song like “Build This House” could probably have been a big hit back in the 80s (and there may still be some fans of classic epic melodic pompyness out there), while a song such as “Evermore” displays some heavy, crunchy and detuned guitars. Then there’s the melancholic “Rise” and “Tears I Cry” which takes you on an emotional and musical journey. Overall, there’s a bit more power in the mix and the heaviness has definitely been pushed up a notch. This time Janne mixed and mastered the album with remote tips from his longtime friend and colleague Mikael Nord Andersson (Scorpions, The Rasmus, Roxette, BALLS etc.) and Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica). Constancia is: Pete Godfrey – Vocals; Janne Stark – Guitars and bass; Mikael Rosengren – Keyboards; Peter “TrumPeter” Svensson – Drums The album was mixed and mastered by Janne Stark (The Re-Stoned, Maat Lander, Magnolia, Overdrive, Bandolier Kings etc).
