I urge everyone who loves some wicked guitar to have a listen to the council.

I see your musical taste has improved. From Avril and Shaggy to The Council.?




/jarmo

first of all i never liked shaggy . . still dont understand where that came from. but hey.


And i have a broad range of musical taste i like to think. And no it hasn't improved . . . from what i'm told.

But the council are definatly worth your money people.

[jarmo]

first of all i never liked shaggy . . still dont understand where that came from. but hey.

Haha!

I think you posted something about liking one of his songs or something similar. This was a long time ago! 



Talking of The Council, Arron needs to go to the gig tomorrow! Otherwise we can make fun of him in this thread.....

[josh85]

we can make fun of him anyway, isn't that what the internet's for, making fun of people you don't have to deal with face to face?

2) Where can I get the lyrics for the songs?

[BA]

better feel me when im ballin baby,
cos the lovin left in me is gonna leave you on your knees now mama
cos i love you baby like i never loved the one before,
now theres blood rust and broken bones for you tamper wwith my jealousy.

but the point is

[BA]

How was yesterday?

it was cool grac.we didnt go on stage until 12 45.played an hour then drove back to london.so it was good but hard work.sold a  few more eps too.

I got The Council EP a few days ago and been listening to it since.

What can I say? I was expecting something great because I've been listening to the demo mp3s from their site for months and saw the band play in London a few months ago. Well, I wasn't let down.

The EP starts with a newly recorded version of the familiar Rainy Days (Revisited) track. Great way to start of. Even people who aren't familiar with the band will like this and I guess that's why XFM played the track.

Track two is something called Guinevere. Now, this is something totally different. Seven minutes plus in length kinda tells you that this band didn't have a record company telling them to write three minute hits suitable for the radio.

Hearing the final version after spending a day listening to the mixing of the track was very nice. Now it all makes sense!

If It Makes A Change is the final track of the EP. An upbeat track with a kind of bluesy feel to it. This was the biggest surprise for me since I haven't heard them play anything like this before. In other words, it's a bit different from the other songs I've heard.

All in all, this EP shows how versatile this band really is. It's their first release so it's like they're just starting. I imagine they're gonna get better and better over time, so I'm expecting more great things from these guys in the future.

I'd recommend this EP to anybody who likes some good rock n' roll played by talented people with the right attitude.

Finally!! A review by The Boss, after days of bugging him! 

I'm not gonna talk about the music now, I wanted to make another point. I've seen a few amateur or non-professional bands playing live, and almost every time I can tell whether they are gonna make it or not just by looking at their stage presence, their attitude, how they conduct themselves on stage. Let's face it: in these times looks are very important, specially for a rock band: it needs to have a recognisable image. Well, The Council looks damm cool! And when they play, obviously I don't know what each of them is feeling inside, but it looks like they've been doing it for a long time: not nervous or scared or anything, just having fun.

[BA]

kind words  you too.thanks.
