Quotes:
The 5-piece rock band Melody Marshals from Stavanger, Norway, has been around in the local music scene for several years, but 2007 will be the year when they finally release their debut album. "Songs From A Tin Laboratory" will be in the shops from October 15, and I guess the album will get the band's name out to more than a limited Stavanger-audience. Their sound is dark and melancholic, but at the same time highly melodic. When I listen to their songs, I'm reminded of bands like Muse, Mew and Placebo or more well known Norwegian bands like the Seigmen or Delaware. The first single from the album is called "Space Cobain", a song I bet will be a live favorite on future concerts. ---------------------------http://eardrumsmusic.com/tag/seig

___________________________________________Post aus Norwegen! gerade haben mir die Melody Marshals ihre Debüt CD als Promo geschickt. Nicht schlecht, Herr Specht! Der melancholische, Wave-orientierter Rock erinnert entfernt an HIM, Muse und Placebo. Technisch sauberer Rock, schöne Stimme und tolle Melodien sollten einen Erfolg der Debüt CD garantieren. Nach meinem unmassgeblichen Geschmack könnte die Musik ein klein bißchen rauher und überraschender ausfallen, aber das ist, wie gesagt, Geschmackssache und darüber zu streiten ist müßig. Freundlicherweise dürfen wir Zwei Tracks unserer geneigten Leserschaft zum freien Download anbieten. Hier der zu prognostizierende Hit der Platte "Space Cobain" und "Jack Lite". Viel Spaß und Platte kaufen!--------------------http://thelastpopsong.blogspot.co
