Blessed By A Broken Heart New Album

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Blessed by a Broken Heart will be releasing their new album titled Pedal To the Metal this Tuesday (2/9/08).

With soaring metal riffs complimented by super-fast double pedal work coupled with 80s-esque drum machines and vocals, these guys are sure to cause a stir in the scene in the near future.

Be sure to check them out on tour later this year and we’ll see you at The Cathouse in Glasgow on 9th December for, from what I’ve heard, will be an awesome show.

Check out a new song from the band, Carry On, on their myspace and expect an album review soon.

The Sound, The Steel by The Wedding

The Wedding have released a new record, with an interesting change of sound. Stepping away from their teenage poppish sound to a more mature sound reminiscent of The Almost. Consisting of five songs and an extra acoustic version of opening track Receive.

Receive comes at you full force, with its bouncy chorus of ‘It’s like a fire coming down. We’ve got it. We’ve got it now’. It’s an instantly catchy track and you’ll be singing it for weeks. The only cheesy aspect of this song is singer Matt Shelton’s Bert McCracken style ‘C-c-clap your hands’. Otherwise, this is the instantly catchy, standout track of the record.
