"This Band Isn't Funny..." CD Album.
Anticipated follow-up from London indie rockers econoline
whose debut album "Music Is Stupid" garnered plaudits far and wide
from Kerrang to The Independent, Germany to Japan. Having
extensively toured the UK and recorded further tracks with Place Position, the
band nipped into Zed One studios in London to complete the final tracks.
Resulting in this 10 tracker that shows an explorative, more developed,
sophisticated and mature econoline still taking you to the rock.
econoline "Go
Team!"7" Vinyl Single. Lovely 7" vinyl single, super limited to 300
copies. It features "Go Team" on one side and "29/10/02"
on the other, both from the latest "This Band Isn't Funny Anymore"
album sessions. Perhaps uncharacteristically of the band, “Go Team!”
starts out with an acoustic guitar and an accordion! It breaks into a peeling,
church chiming melody; bitter sweet, yet filled with hope. A wry, twisted poke
in the eye for establishment values. An anthem for disillusioned youth.
emetrex "Wish Me Dead" CD Album.
Paring down to a 2 piece and toughening up to evolve beyond
their hallucinogenic roots, Emetrex have fully cranked the dial on their
return. Those who wistfully remember the melancholic debut
'Metacomet' may well be shaken out of their slumber with this
smouldering, deranged stoner noise-fest of a follow-up. "These
boys have decamped to the desert, sucked the venom from a scorpion’s poison sac,
rubbed sand in their eyes and snorted the salt from the devil’s sunburnt
ass-crack" Tim Dellow, Plan B
emetrex "Hammer In My Skull" CD EP.
With recent single "I Think The Sun Makes Me Move"
proving a triumph, Emetrex release the 2nd single from forthcoming album
'Wish Me Dead'. Looking to pour scorn on their adversaries, like
liquid magma, their smouldering new release 'Hammer..' does
exactly what it says on the tin.
"punchy and rocky with a West Coast breeze blowing through its smoky
vista until the paranoid ending" Sasha S, Deo2.com
econoline"The Columbia" CD EP.
First single from new album 'This Band Isn't Funny Anymore'
reveals a poppier econoline. We use the word lightly, the band after all
have been taking us to the rock for a while now. This time we stop to check in
at London's Columbia Hotel, famous for hosting the infamous. Stories of
sofas being thrown from windows with band members still on them are stuff of
legend. econoline perfectly encapsulate the chaos associated with this
rock n roll hall of fame by releasing this, their 5th single, a satirical,
anthemic, angst-fuelled, guitar-thrashing comment on the hotel’s sordid
reputation.
emetrex "I Think The Sun..." CD EP.
Forthcoming new single "I Think The Sun Makes Me Move"
taken from the anticipated second album "Wish Me Dead". emetrex
turn up the rock with this groovetastic potential smash.
"A
wailing, distorted, fuzz-soaked monolith of an indie-rock record"
Mike Diver, Drowned In Sound
econoline "Full Tar" CD Single.
The new single from econoline 'Full Tar'
has hit the airwaves. Frontman Ian Scanlon recently recorded an acoustic session
for Music Choice, where the record is on the playlist. Further support
comes from both Steve Lamacq & John Peel at BBC Radio 1,
which has led to Mr Peel offering them a session too! "a high speed blur of edgy vocals & uncompromising
jet-powered distortion" James Moore - Do Something Pretty
econoline "Music Is Stupid" CD Album.
The much anticipated full length debut album from London based alt indie rockers econoline. Following the NME, Kerrang!, Peel
& Lamacq championed singles 'Breakfast of Champions' and 'I'm Plagued'. Quiet, loud, quiet. "Throbbing,
wailing, brooding, angst-fuelled, guitar-thrashing noise" [Sunday Mail]. Think Braid, Built to Spill and The Get Up Kids.
Music IS Stupid, unless it's this good. "Quality melodic post-hardcore noise"Rae Alexandra - Kerrang!
emetrex "Curve of the Earth" CD Single.
Yet another stonking slice of yanker lo fidelity that will continue to establish Boston outfit
emetrex as the stars and stripes of the Sparklehorse,
Grandaddy, Lambchop stable. Emetrex deliver a radio friendly plastic platter on CD
single, after a recent UK trip, which saw the band appear all over the country to massive acclaim and media
support. Following-up their beautiful debut long player 'Metacomet' and previewing a new batch of
material leading up to a second album later in the year. "Emetrex don't make us wade through the bread and butter of
verses; instead, we're force-fed with the rich gooey cake of chorus after chorus
after chorus"Mark Edwards - The Sunday Times
econoline "I'm Plagued" CD Single.
'I'm Plagued' marks econoline's second release for Seriously
Groovy, and follows the success of the 'Breakfast Of
Champions' single. Proudly wearing their influences on their sleeves, this time
the title track has a slightly more grunge feel about it, bringing to mind groups like
Dinosaur Jr and Mudhoney, complimenting their other comparisons of Husker Du, Pavement,
The Get Up Kids and The Cure. This single comes on a 3-track CD and includes
'Too Much Sleep' and 'YourName'. "a band ably capable of bettering the tortured and highly agreeable
racket made by late UK emo king contenders Sunfactor and Spy Versus Spy.
Investigate now" Kerrang!
emetrex "Metacomet" CD Album.
A captivating debut album, emetrex's enchanting eclectism melds droning
guitars, simple drum licks, booming bass & samples to a pleasing hypnotic slant that
the fey lonely kid at the back of the class would have loved. A beautifully-controlled
piece of yank psychedelia on the wavelength of Mercury Rev, Grandaddy,
Wheat & all those other bands your mates have never heard of. Includes the singles 'King of Animals' and 'Staring at the
Stone'. "Though they are not just another Wheat or Lambchop, Emetrex do sound
pleasantly like a band you'd expect to have been snapped up by City Slang "
RockSound
econoline "Breakfast of Champions" CD Single.
The first Seriously Groovy release for econoline. Having already toured
alongside everyone worth mentioning they have been likened by Sleazenation, the
pied piper of national lifestyle magazines, to the god like Husker Du, and
Kerrang! seem to agree "they've certainly got the guitar pummelling dynamics to
go with such a comparison" [Ben Myers - Kerrang!]. On this release we are treated to the first of many records that fly the flag originally
carried by the likes of Built To Spill, Pavement and Codeine. "Ian
Scanlon's vocal tussling poignantly with the deafening walls of guitars until your heart
breaks in two" Stevie Chick - NME
emetrex "Staring At The Stone" CD Single.
Launching with a hint to the debut album from which it's taken. 3 beautiful
songs take you on a hypnotic journey into the sublime hallucinogenic dreamscape that is
emetrex. "but Emetrex operate on a deeper level, burrowing into layers of loops
and fuzzy effects to emerge with something both richly sonorous and gravely sad. The
whirring synths and coiled fretwork of 'Staring at the Stone' suggest a slightly
less weird Grandaddy, while B-side 'No Big Loss' whispers of Mercury Rev
- all warped-vinyl melancholia and hauntingly cracked vocals..." April Long -
NME
emetrex "King Of Animals" CD Single.
Riding on the Atlantic wave hitting our shores from stateside - and powered by
the likes of Grandaddy, Sparklehorse and Lambchop - emetrex turn up the bpm,
toughen-up their soundscapes and attack with a song that claws its
way into your head. "It's like laconic Yank lo-fi that just sort of burrows its
way into your skull, like demon-possessed and badly bloodrusted farm machinery. And then
sits there. Throbbing." Steven Wells - NME
emetrex "The Birds Your Brothers" Mini CD.
Of birds (the feathered variety) knowing more than they are letting on. They're
watching. Of trusting and consulting closely with them. Of whisperings, alienation, lesser
moments, murmuring and rumours. Of scratching, falling sound, love and wire. Of work,
worry, effort, silence and roads that are gone. Mellow waves of sound, forced together
with cracked lyrics, mesmerising swirling soundscapes carved out of samples, guitars,
basic drum rhythms and effects that carry you on a dreamlike journey of irritatingly
catchy melodies. "Emetrex do the US fuzzy guitars n pretty loops thing
well" Kitty Empire - NME
