The Warm Jets are back!

In the
70s and 80s

The Warm Jets played alongside notorious and illustrious artists and bands such as The Sex Pistols, Ian Dury, The Members and many other famous artists. The Jets music will soon be available in a new album History of Rock N Roll Part 2. Above are these preview sample tracks from the album.
The band mysteriously disappeared on a trip through the Himalayas via Katmandu, Goa, Finland's Forrests and Lakes and Siberia. Their diverse style of music derived from half of the early Cockney Rebel which was augmented by the enigmatic theatrically charged songs and lyrics of Paul Ballance. Paul Jeffreys the bass player sadly was a victim of the Lockerbie terrorist air bomb, dying in mid air with his new wife bound for New York.

The Warm jets records were released RSO and Rocket Records. There has been a rumor of a renaissance in the return to life of Paul Ballance to live performance where he excels as well as a series of albums. The music is a convergence of styles including Rock, Electro, Pop, Reggae, Disco, Dance, Electronica and Experimental Pop. Priding itself into continuing its commitment to both original and fresh music. The new album's blending of both old and new influences derives a cutting edge and fresh sound, with reference to the rich inheritance of the original band.

Listen to legendary Sam Cooke

Photobucket

Sam Cooke was an American gospel, R&B, soul, and pop singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur. He is considered to be one of the pioneers and founders of soul music. Cooke had 29 Top 40 hits in the U.S. between 1957 and 1965. Major hits like "You Send Me", "A change is gonna come ", "Chain Gang", "Wonderful world ", and "Bring It on Home to Me" are some of his most popular songs. Cooke was also among the first modern black performers and composers to attend to the business side of his musical career. He founded both a record label and a publishing company as an extension of his careers as a singer and composer. He also took an active part in the American Civil Rights Movement.

The song "A Change Is Gonna Come" was played upon the death of Malcolm X, and was memorably featured in Spike Lee's film Malcolm X. Barack Obama's presidential victory speech paraphrased the song: "It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America."

The Horrors ' Who can say'

Photobucket

The Horrors are an English garage rock band who formed in mid-2005. They released their debut album Strange House, which reached #37 on the UK Albums Chart, on 5 March 2007. Their sophomore album Primary Colours was released on 4 May 2009 and reached #25 in the UK.

The Horrors EP ‘Who can say 'review: ‘After rooting a little deeper in their daddies' '60s record collections, the band has returned with a shimmying, brighter sound, which retains just enough of their old sinister guitar slashes to prevent the change from seeming cynical. Badwan's bleak vocals about failed romance are played out over haunting fairground organs, Ronettes-esque drums and a fuzzy scuzz of Jesus & The Mary Chain-style effects that will have Glasvegas seething with jealousy. It might pain certain people to say it, but The Horrors are actually starting to sound pretty amazing.’

Becks re-release their 'One foot in the grave'

Photobucket

Becks re-released their re-mastered album ‘One foot in the grave 'which was originally released in 1994. The album now features 13 previously unreleased tracks. His third official album, One Foot in the Grave shows a strong folk influence that is more pronounced than on his more eclectic-style albums of the time, ‘Mellow Gold’ and ‘Odelay’. ‘One Foot in the Grave’ was recorded prior to the release of his debut album ‘Mellow Gold’, but was not released until after that album met with critical and commercial success.

Photobucket

Much of the album is about mood as much as song, a situation not uncommon to Beck, which is hardly a problem because the ramshackle sound is charming and the songwriting is often excellent, channeling Beck's skewed sensibilities into a traditional setting, particularly on the excellent "Asshole," which is hardly as smirking as its title. It's that delicate, almost accidental, balance of exposed nerves and cutting with that sets One foot in the grave apart from Beck's other albums; he'd revisit this sound and sensibility, but never again was he so beguilingly ragged.

Jarvis Cocker comes back with a rock album!

Photobucket

Jarvis Cocker comes back with a rock album ‘Further Complications'. He was a boy with the weird nose and the big glasses back in High School but he believed in his individuality. Jarvis Cocker wrote songs about short skirts, dance moves, sexual espionage and the abject glamour of drug consumption. “Common People,” the song about a rich Greek student, who could learn about the real life in England, became an international hit. Cocker sang about all types of creepies and crawlies, applying himself to songs about the trees that make our oxygen, species, natural selection and genetics, and the little bird singing in the garden.

Photobucket

Before Jarvis Cocker came back, he moved to Paris, got married, became a father, and grew a beard. In his new album, between the noise-pieces, he sings wonderful tearjerkers such as , “I Never Said I Was Deep". In other sections, scratchy wind sections and contorted guitars account for an overall atmosphere similar to that of the sort of smoky club where you would never hear a Pulp (previous Jarvis band) album played. He is still interested more than anything in lonely mothers and disco dancing. The fact that he is now married only serves to make his songs of seduction more delicate – if not the stuff itself. In “Fuckingsong ,” he lewdly suggests listening to his songs, because in real life he is never so punctual, dependable and persevering.

Ranging from songs that were written years ago, to material that was written specifically for this album, you won’t be surprised to feel a connection with Kristin as you walk with her through her own personal journey of faith and hear the stories of loved ones that surround her.

Days of Eden” has given Kristin an opportunity to delve into herself intrinsically. She confronts, questions and reflects on her life experiences, beliefs and insecurities.

Charming ambient piano melodies swathed in classical vocals tenderly illuminates Kristin to the listener. From ‘This Is Life’, an up-tempo piano-driven song about the highs and lows of life, to ‘Emma Prayed’, a raw and sentimental ballad about a young woman whose life takes a dramatic turn as she prays for the very first time, there is sure to be a song for everyone on this project.

Kristen’s goal for the album is “to be personal and candid, sharing my thoughts, the insecurities, the questions, the joy and pain, my love of life and God, all of it. Some days I'm a mess and some days I'm only slightly a mess, but that's part of my own story; the freedom and opportunity to express it all with my music is what drives me.

No matter where you are in your journey of faith, allow 'Days Of Eden' to bless your heart, refresh your mind, and captivate your soul.

Kristin Schweain can be checked out on MySpace where her site has already received over 70,000 hits.You can buy the album HERE.
