Above is a mainstream aspiring English indie pop band with a touch of alternative, that auto-describes itself as " Coldplay on steroids, American rock with a sense of irony and you're halfway there". Well if that was a little bit confusing that have a go on their latest single 'At Arms Length', available at iTunes , a thrilling and passionate song. The song openes with a slow and melancholic piano line, backed up by smooth guitar chops, on top of which frontman Karl Harrison powerful and commanding voice unleash powerful vocal notes, resembling the likes [...]
A couple of folks in the blogroll have posted their half-year-in-review or top-25 of new 2007 music. Since I don't have nearly the patience to offer up 25 of them, and music of what they've purchased isn't what I've purchased, this listing may actually do someone some good in finding something new. Then again, it might not. Optimism rules, so hope you like what you hear. As always, feel free to suggest something I might like; remember, I have a 137-mile each-way trip to work (yes, 137), so there's plenty of time for music on the interstate! I'd [...]

Track: Walk Away Artist/Band: Funeral For A Friend Label: Atlantic Duration: 3:54 Description: Funeral For A Friend has posted the latest video for new single 'Walk Away' from their new full length. The record is titled Tales Don't Tell Themselves and was released May 14, 2007. Formats available: Flash (.flv)| Audio (.mp3) 25 FREE Downloads from eMusic . No Restrictions - Own Your Music!

So far this year, this seems to be the release either highly recommended or extremely panned by listeners. The band seems to have left their guitar edginess behind that was so popular on previous albums and are making a valiant attempt to shake the "emo" label. Production of this EP was troubled, as the band felt they had hit a creative wall. If you have been a fan of this UK-based band, this release isn't Casually Dressed and Deep In Conversation , their highly acclaimed debut album; and that might be a disappointment. However, if you are just discovering [...]

I'm posting this song more out of nostaglia than actually liking the track. Its from Funeral For A Friend 's forthcoming album Tales Don't Tell Themselves , out in May, and is just a pretty standard rock track. Heavier than their previous album but still nowhere near as intense or technical as the stuff off their initial ep releases. Got into these guys after seeing them play Tunbridge Wells Forum and then an amazing set, opening the Concrete Jungle Stage at Reading Festival, they really let loose live. I've actually never had a bad time at a FFAF [...]
