This is great! Nice one LIndsay, another great find.

 

Whole album is up on Youtube too and sounds good. No reviews online that I can find ... hoping I can get to review it.

Saw these guys open up at about 11am one morning at swedenrock this year. Really impressed me live, so trying to dig up their cd.

 

 

Any luck, Lindsay? I sent a message on FB, but haven't had a reply.

I got a reply but with shipping it was gonna cost me almost $40!!!!!

 

That's mad. Download it is then. No idea where from though...

 

Why would a band make their music so far to get hold of? Kind of defeats the object, doesn't it?

 

Still loving the tunes though. Can listen to the whole thing here and the first few tracks seem really good. Nice vocals and f***ing great guitar work.

Awesome photos, mate.

 

Thank you sir Geoff.

 

I actually hired a lens with a decent zoom to take to the festival. Worth about $3k, but a few hundred bucks to hire for a few days. Problem is... now I want one!

 

 

Haha. I know that feeling. When I was on Kangaroo Island two years ago a guy let me borrow his super zoom lens to take photos of seals for a little while. Very similar scenario to you, hey? :lol: But yeah, it's hard to give the lens back when you're done... but by christ those things are expensive!

Shoulda grabbed the cd when I was at swedenrock.... still have not manged to get my hands on a copy

You should email the band again as I am sure they have many to unload now that the singer is moving on...

 

I got mine from the band and a shirt for a very meager price.

 

 

Yardstones with Noah Andréasson and 4 others.

We’d like to thank everyone who came out to Metal På Bruket and saw our last show with Jim Lantz as our lead vocalist! We love you all!

A special thanks to Robin Jidhed who booked us, and to the working staff at the event!

We wish Jim all the best of luck with future projects and in life. We want you all to know that we go our separate ways as brothers and that we love each other! There are no bad feelings between us, and we’re all still very good friends who care about each other!

Yardstones will keep going strong, we’re currently writing songs for our second album and plotting for the future of the band! We’ll come back stronger than ever with awesome new material and a fitting replacement on lead vocals!

Keep it real!

/Adde, Sankt, Frankie and Noah

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
