Review - No-Man - Wherever There Is Light

No-Man - Wherever There Is Light

View The Review

3 out of 10

All very earnest stuff from Mr. Porcupine Tree and friends. He doesn't follow his own advice from track two, however - 'take your pain and make it beautiful'. 'Beautiful' is apparently replaced with 'very dull indeed.' Oh wow! Excuse me - I've just seen some drying paint that I simply MUST WATCH. . .

Listen: www.myspace.com/nomanuk

Tracklist:
1. Wherever There Is Light
2. Death Was California
3. Counting
4. Carolina Skeletons (Live)
5. All The Blue Changes (Live)
6. Wherever There Is Light (Video)
7. All The Blue Changes (Live at Bush Hall, London 29/08/08 video)

View The Article

Submitted: "The members of Pennywise, Fletcher Dragge, Byron McMackin and Randy Bradbury, have issued the following statement regarding singer Jim Lindberg's departure:

"After 19 years with Pennywise, Jim Lindberg has decided to step down as lead singer. Pennywise has long stood behind the motto that you should always follow your heart and pursue what makes you happy, and we wish Jim the best of luck in his new ventures, whatever they may be. Pennywise has become a way of life for a lot of people, and has definitely become a way of life for us. As the three remaining members of Pennywise we feel that we are not done delivering our message to our fans.

"The band has always been about moving forward in life no matter what obstacles stand in front of you. We will begin our search for a new singer immediately. We will continue to tour the world and we are looking forward to writing new music. We’ve had a lot of good times and survived the hard times thanks to the undying support of our fans. We’re looking forward to what the future may bring."

Sincerely Fletcher, Randy, and Byron"

News - Cash Colligan Leaves The Cab

View The Article

From The Cab’s MySpace page:

"First off I can’t thank our fans enough for making the What Happens In Vegas tour a success beyond our wildest dreams. I don’t think anybody quite realizes how much this means to us but it absolutely means the world. It was our first nationwide headlining tour and you guys were loving, welcoming, and absolutely incredible! I’m sad to say the day has come where Cash has decided to leave the band and to move on from touring to pursue his other interests and dreams and to do do what’s right for him in Las Vegas. If you follow Cash on twitter I’m sure you’ve seen everything he has on his plate and that he’s been working on at home. We wish him the best and I’m sure he’ll be no stranger at a Cab show or anytime we’re back in town. Thank you again to everyone for your unending support, you’ve made the tour and this summer one we’ll never forget. We hope to see everybody again soon. We are happier than ever and have so many songs we are dying to show you guys! Get ready... the best is yet to come!

-The Cab"
