Swindon Music

By the way...how's your mum?

Maybe they're all allergic to above average music with a decent vocal. Good to see the usual fuckers are fucking each other in the ears with godawful noise. Keep doing what you do Soulsmith - when I'm back in the country I'll have to come see you, in disguise obviously

Brian! Thank f**k you're back!

Back? Back? He's not been away

A laughable statement for various reasons.

Don't feed the demon Mr Jester. You'll just make him worse!

I'll pop round and tell him to shut the f**k up, once I've put the kids to bed...eh Mr McGee

Heh, it is laughable... decent vocals my arse.

Where does Brian live Sean? I'm dying to know.

so am I

All I am prepared to say is that his/her postcode begins...SN1

Fuck off Mr Sweeney. You know exactly where he/she lives

Thats like a zip code, right?
I guess he lives in a cellar somewhere, thats where all the rats hang out.

Comedy Store Next Fridays People - If your up for a trip to london, Bunch on comedians,then live music, an awesome P.A setup with a good sound guy as well (going on what the promoter says)

Getting away from all this Joe Sweeny/Brian McGee Tomfoolery, here's a review of our Leicester dates:

"Soulsmith are a rock band from Swindon and have played Leicester before. Tonight they played a gig at the Pavilion and then went down to the Queen Victoria to play another set. On Sunday they played at the Shed. Pretty much a tour de force. This three member band plays mainstream rock - extraordinarily well - with lead vocals from Mike Anstey, bass from Paul Yallop and Ant Henderson on the drums. They have a great set of songs: Roflcopter - the first song at the Pavo set - which is on their Myspace - gives an impression of how they sound - crisply clear vocals from Mike, who also churns out some distorted riffs on guitar. They cleverly swap from fast beats with lots of energy, to slower passages where they get into mood and atmosphere.


So from the name you would think they were into Soul and Blues - not at all! Their Myspace says " Grunge / Alternative / Funk" - couldn't agree with this - some funky sounds in there yes, but no way is it gunge (not in my books) and am also not convinced about the alternative bit - it's mainstream to my ears. Powerful songs, exhilarating beats and artful use of high and low structures in the music - it's quality melodic rock all through the set.


Their songs drive forward with energy and passion, with some stormingly good vocals and tight backings - when they get going, it's just electrifying. A large sound, pumped out by three top class musicians, having an anthemic feel to the songs. Sadly only two of their large set list are on the myspace tracks. These guys have a massive stage presence and can set a room on fire, just as they did at the Queen Vic. Switching from moody, evokative passages to blistering, soaring anthems, makes Soulsmith one of the most exciting bands to have blessed Leicester audiences with a top class live music experience.


The band is back in Leicester on 15th and 16th November."

Heh..

Aww, they wanted to bum all 3 of you!

Bless...

I think thats a rather well written review!
