Alter Bridge Complete Recording Of New Album

Alter Bridge posted the following update on their as yet untitled new studio album:

“We are pleased to inform you that the recording of our third album has been completed. It was an amazing journey and we believe that the songs that we have created are our most inspired and dynamic work to date.

“We all worked very hard on these songs, over a long period of time, and we are all fiercely proud of what we have recorded.

“We have played some of the rough mixes of the songs to a few of our ‘trusted ears’ and they are telling us that we have absolutely topped the ‘Blackbird’ album. The true test will come when we get to hear what all you fans think and we are very much looking forward to that day.

“The next step in the process will be mixing, which will begin in mid-April, in New York. The mixing will probably take a few weeks and once that is finished, we will begin the difficult task of deciding which songs will make the album. The goal is to release the album in September, before our planned October tour in Europe that will start in the U.K.”

Zebrahead – Glasgow Garage – 29/03/10

A cold night in Glasgow, rain and snow everywhere. Perfect night for a Zebrahead show then!

The first band to hit the stage were LA pop/punk band Orange. They were a really fun way to start the night, with some really cool songs. They aren’t breaking barriers, but what they do is really enjoyable and the fans certainly enjoyed their set. The highlight was their superb cover of Help, by The Beatles

Up next was the fantastic MC Lars, bursting straight into Space Game. He really got the crowd going, especially with Straight Outta Stockholm sung to the Super Mario theme song. Lars and DJ were joined by Ben and Ed from Zebrahead for the second half of set, Playing songs like White Kids Aren’t Hyphy, No Logo, Download This Song and my personal highlight Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock

Finally Zebrahead took to the stage, opening with Hell Yeah, the band played plenty tracks from their most recent studio album (of original material) Phoenix. The crowd went crazy for them, and you could tell the band were having a fantastic time on stage. The band played songs from almost all of their studio albums, Jag Off, from Waste of Mind/Yellow was fantastic, Ali told the crowd to sit down at one point during this song, and every single person did it. Some other highlight of the set was Playmate Of The Year, where the crowd were told to show their “ninjas”, Rescue Me, HMP and Anthem. Near the end of the set, the band played their new single The Juggernauts and were joined onstage by the members of Orange, MC Lars and DJ and even some of the road crew to sing along in the chorus.

In all, this was a fantastic night, On the way out, I saw smiles from ear to ear on every single persons face!
