Just recently I seem to have got hold of a load of great albums. NEVE, NINE DAYS, KING X and now EVERCLEAR. Thing is, there's not a MHR one among 'em! But I would recommend getting a listen to the new EVERCLEAR album 'Songs From An American Movie'. It's melodic and in places it rocks but it's not melodic rock if you know what I mean? It does, however stand a chance of getting on the radio which TWO FIRES (which I love) doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of doing! With Marvellous 3 round the corner things are shaping up pretty well for this year I reckon. But not if you're expecting an 80's revival!

It's good to see that people who regularly contribute to this board aren't JUST hanging on to the past. And as far as I'm concerned the EVERCLEAR album sounds like it's choc full of hit singles to me. Be warned! Expect to hear it on your radio soon, like it or not!!

I believe they are putting out another album in a couple of months which displays their heavier/grungier side. Just going to check it out on their site.

Later...]]> Surfpunk NoticeboardThu, 10 Aug 2000 07:17:18 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4163#msg-4163 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4163#msg-4163 sfk kurt NoticeboardThu, 10 Aug 2000 01:01:08 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4162#msg-4162 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4162#msg-4162 sfk kurt NoticeboardThu, 10 Aug 2000 00:59:27 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4141#msg-4141 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4141#msg-4141 KAOS FAN NoticeboardWed, 09 Aug 2000 18:53:19 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4133#msg-4133 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4133#msg-4133are average musicians (Iv'e never seen them in concert) Alex (the main writer)
surely is chock full of ideas more than your average alt band. The CD is
a very varied affair and the songs are of quality. Other people should not
shy away from this CD.

Although it is not "Melodic Rock" they take their music to a whole new
level. Just felt I had to defend a quality release.

Live's album "The Distance From Here" is fantastic, probably the best album I bought last year. I'm quite into Live as it goes, Dolphin's Cry is the most commercial song on the album, and not even the best, so check it out Carl. You've gotta check out "They Did It For Love", fucking unbelievable!

And to my most anticipated album of the year, also mentioned in this thread, the new Marvelous 3 album. Can't wait for that. I haven't been able to relieve my stereo of Hey! since I bought it and I've been hanging for the new one forever it seems. I've heard a few sound bytes and I reckon I'm going to enjoy it. Don't suppose anyone knows the release date please?

Cheers and beers

Have you heard Jason's 'demos'? They are available to download at www.bvbmusic.com the label he co-owns. Really, he puts many people to shame with the quality of his stuff. Check out a song called 'Two Fallen' particularly to see what I mean.There's actually a full album of songs to download there and if you use MUSICMATCH JUKEBOX you can sort them into a playlist just like an album on yer PC. Cool huh?

I need to check out FRANKIE MACHINE and SAMANTHA 7, Thanks.

Oh yeah, FRANCIS DUNNERY is playing Manchester again on the 10th November. You're into Frankie right?]]> Surfpunk NoticeboardWed, 09 Aug 2000 07:23:43 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4118#msg-4118 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4117,4118#msg-4118Supertransatlantic ( ex Saigon Kick and Extreme ) which is one of the best
