Young Rebel Set single out today

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Following the release of three limited edition singles and their ‘Won’t Get Up Again’ EP, Young Rebel Set have announced their new single ‘Lion’s Mouth’ and details of their eagerly anticipated debut album, due in June 2011 on Big Flame Records.

The opening track of Young Rebel Set’s forthcoming debut album ‘Curse Our Love’, ‘Lion’s Mouth’ will be released as a digital download through Big Flame today May 30th.

‘Lion’s Mouth’ is one of the album’s stand out tracks and looks set to become another live favourite, the forlorn lyrics are offset by rolling guitars and the rallying chorus: “So I jumped into the Lion’s Mouth / Just to see what life was really all about it” makes for a powerful impact.

Having released their debut single ‘If I Was’ in August 2009, ‘Curse Our Love’ will be the result of three years hard graft. Three years of schlepping across the country in the back of a van. Three years of missing home. Three years of relationships gone belly up because of the band. Three years of non-stop writing, playing, recording, gigging. Three years of packing crates, plastering ceilings, clocking in and working any job you can just to keep the band going. Three years of an unshakable belief that this record is worth sacrificing everything for.

Band: Matty Chipchase, Andy Parmley, Chris Parmley, Mark Evans, Paddy Jordan, Luke Evans, Dave Coombe

Remix of The Week - Swedish House Mafia: Save the World (Style of Eye and Carli Remix)

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Remix of The Week - Swedish House Mafia: Save the World (Style of Eye and Carli Remix) Featured at no.2 in the popular Hypemachine chart at present, this tune keeps ringing around my head, like in a cavernous warehouse rave, reverberating off the walls at the back of the room with cans and cocaine flying everywhere. What makes this a tantalising House edit is the dramatic echos and hues unearthed from below the detritus layer of beat. Committing to such a remix takes guts, particularly with the fame and popularity Swedish House Mafia have achieved over the last year.

In quite dramatic style too, the empty spaces are deliberately left empty, while experimentation with the vocals and a rising tone of electro makes for an uplifting 1st two minutes. A great song when you are making dinner! I spilt my Spagbol on the floor after dancing!
