The Sanitarium: What if….?
In the lives of bands and the history of music there are key personnel changes, albums produced, tours undertaken, or technical advances that for better or worse help set the course of the future. ‘What if’ though…?
The Sanitarium: Returns, Reunions and News We Should be Caring About
This week was, in terms of musical news, both a great week and a surprising week. Metallica announced their return to headline Download again whilst Black Sabbath reunited to be the 2nd and Nightwish made the video for their single Storytime available on their YouTube page. Oh joy!
The Sanitarium – Lulu Album Review
I think Metallica, despite getting a hammering from many areas should get a lot of praise for their musical contributions; even as a glorified backing band. So, welcome back to the Sanitarium and this week I want to take the bull by the horns as it were and admit to something; I liked Lulu.
The Sanitarium: He Said Something And It Got Me Thinking
Welcome back to a supposedly ‘Halloween’ edition of the Sanitarium. Recently after finishing our album I was offered a what if scenario; would I be annoyed if I found out that an album I had recorded had appeared on torrent sites and was being downloaded for free?
The Sanitarium: ‘Getting’ It
Many people, when they talk about how they discovered their favourite band or genre of music will often talk about how they first heard it and that they immediately knew it was great and they ‘got’ it. I have never been like that but when someone shows me a band or genre, the first listen is crucial.
The Sanitarium: So Far So Good… And Away We Go
Welcome back to the Sanitarium. Our doors are open again after a period of relocation and refurbishment. Call it what you will, from here on out there will be no slipping. Way back in October four bands descended on the O2 Academy 3 in Birmingham for a tightly scheduled evening’s entertainment. No band disappointed, and all gained new fans that night.
The Sanitarium: O2 Academy 3 Next Saturday… Be there!
Next Saturday (1st October) four young bands will descend on the O2 Academy 3 in Birmingham to rock the city to it’s foundations. Predictions are fair that this will be the first show to fully sell out the 250 person room for unsigned acts. These bands combine the best of metal and rock and if there is any justice in the world they will all achieve recognition.
