Hi guys, wondered if you could help me out by giving me your opinion on Make Model. Theyre a band making waves in their native Glasgow, but their sound is pretty tough to pin down: they were described on NME.com as a bunch of genius folk bastards whilst Gigwise has them down as a big shiny, thumping pop band of the highest order. Theyve performed alongside the likes of Franz Ferdinand & Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah and have a series of gigs over the summer, including Thursday 2nd Aug @ Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh and Friday 3rd Aug @ Barfly Glasgow.
Anyhow, would really like to know how you would describe them, in fact in return for your views I can offer you a free download of their single Glasgows #1 Most Wanted, just click the banner below & follow the instructions at the bottom of the page (you can also hear more tracks on the music player in the top right).

Whilst it's a shame to see independent venues go, I think Barfly do a good job of keeping an independent spirit, and definitely don't polish things up too much (a good thing IMO)!

Bless you!

Just wanted to let you know about the new single from The Orange Lights. The Guardian said of The Orange Lights: Uplifting but scarred widescreen rock: imagine a desolate Verve or U2, and Click Your Heels is the second single from their debut album Life Is Still Beautiful.
Produced by Coldplay & Embrace mastermind Ken Nelson, the single is available to download from 13th August and from stores from 20th August. Click Your Heels is backed up with an acoustic version, as well as a live recording of the track from the recent Orange Lights gig at the infamous Ibiza Rocks.
You can check the single at The Orange Lights Myspace: www.myspace.com/theorangelights

Anyone heard Roisin Murphys new track, Overpowered? Following on from the sublime Ruby Blue LP, the former Moloko lovely lady has hooked up with Seiji from Bugz In The Attic for this track, and together theyve come up with this superb slice of deep electronic house, backed up with heavier versions from Seamus Haji, Kris Menace, Herv and Loose Cannons.
Check out the track on her Myspace, theres also a competition to win a signed Roisin poster and goodie bag with copies of the single: www.myspace.com/roisinmurphy

THE ORANGE LIGHTS have an epic sound, and an albums worth of big songs with uplifting lyrics. The themes are universal: loss and redemption, clutching hope out of the jaws of desolation and despair - like Spiritualized, The Verve and many great 60s/ early 70s soul records. The sound is atmospheric and cinematic like Doves, U2 and Radiohead topped off with loads of personality and the solid gold voice of frontman Jason Hart. The Orange Lights blend their influences old soul, Brian Eno, Stone Roses, Echo & The Bunnymen, Nick Drake, U2, Radiohead, Ulrich Schnauss and A Reminiscent Drive into perfect pop songs. As several observers have noted: Its the record Richard Ashcroft should have made after The Verve's Urban Hymns.
THE ORANGE LIGHTS are what happens when you put two of British pops best-loved bands together. Vocalist Jason Hart formerly plied his guitar talents in Jason Pierces Spiritualized, and you can hear the influence in the The Orange Lights wall of sound. Co-creator of the band is keyboard player and songwriter Paul Tucker who was one-half of Nineties soul sensations the Lighthouse Family. On paper, they seem mismatched. On record, a marriage made in heaven.

Not sure....there has been so many good bands come out of it. I've got last years compilation CD in front of me and there are so many bands on it that have had success since playing there.
They don't give CD's away anymore though - everything is on iTunes which is crap
-
I have posted this already, and it has been removed - i know its about the "spam" element of posts the admin has.....but this is a good chance for all bands on here to further yourselves...
If you aren't familiar with In the City - it is one of the biggest music conventions in the world - a place where the industry and unsigned bands meet.
Bands such as Coldplay, Muse, Oasis, The Darkness, The Subways, Tom Vek etc etc etc have been signed as a result of their performances....so it is a really good event to play.
There are over 650 bands that play over the four days, and there is still time to be a part of it....submit your details by clicking the image below. If you don't get to play the 'official' show cases - email me at chris.meehan@sentricmusic.com and i will forward your details to the promoters of the 'unnoficial' showcases.
Please don't delete this post as it could be of real benefit to your local bands who use this forum...
Cheers

Absolutely - it's just coincidence that so many of your 'discussions' give the mistaken impression of actually advertising something...

You can see why people make that mistake though. Here's a thought - maybe you should stop using tracking links. One more and you're gone.
you have a pm mate
