I love all of their releases. I cannot wait to hear this!!

 

 

Let's spam their f/book page with messages of re-releasing/re-recording "Early Years"!

 

 

What's wrong with the 'Early Years' as it is? I agree it would be awesome to hear all those songs re-recorded, but I also love the untamed nature of early HS at their hungriest. Love that album.

Maybe he meant re-recording them as it is if they can't get the license to re-release it ? just like Mood Swings II, not much changing except for the acappela stuff

Tomorrow the 1st single Sinking ship will be released and it is incredible.

 

Heard it this morning on Spotify and it is very nice indeed. Very Higher era imo. Big hook.

Holy shit. That's a real vintage type Harem Scarem song. Fucking marvellous. Sounds like it's from that debut / 'Mood Swings' era. Love it, very much. And thank christ, production sounds excellent.

REALLY good song, but I would say more of Higher/Weight than the debut/Mood.

Defo Higher to me.

And I say Mood Swings/Higher to me. Has the aggression of Mood Swings, and the production of Higher.

But the style of chorus has that almost debut style to me. Not so much lyrically, but that really big, catchy style reminds me so much of the debut. With the bollocks and guitarwork of 'Mood Swings.'

 

No doubt in the world Lesperance and Hess are two of the most under-rated peformers in the entire musical landscape. To do what they've been doing for as long as they've been doing it, and to both sound as good as they still do today... it is criminal that they are only acknowledged by a tiny little diehard melodic rock fanbase.

Totally agree!

yeah, but they all look OK on FB......hardly scrimping and scraping ;)

 

I guess Hess is paid pretty well for all his producing work....even though he's not that great at it :lol:

Oh, I'm sure they're doing okay. I just mean in terms of being acknowledged as worthwhile contributors to the world of music. It still amazes me that a band can go on for as long as HS has been going, creating so much great music along the way, and they have never been acknowledged in any way by any sort of larger group of people.

 

I am sure they have no real desire to be "validated" by the masses, but they definitely deserve recognition. Just crazy that over 99% of the world's population would never have heard of Harem Scarem. Crazy thought.

esp given how many Journey, Foreigner, Boston, (and the like) fans there are in the world. The musical styles are hardly that different.

 

On the subject Andrew posted on Melrock noticeboard that there are better songs on the album, which pleases me immensely. I hate it when the released tracks turn out to be the best ones :)

    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums. 
    • New song 'Unbreakable'.    
    • Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
