Track of the day... Young Legionnaire - Iron Dream

Young Legionnaire are properly a band now, they have a official release Colossus/Iron Dream!

The release will be on Holy Roar Records and the 7" will cost £3.99 in either yellow or brown. Or if you are a little bit crazy (like me) you will buy 3 of them for £10, it comes with the download of the songs as soon as you have bought it.



Right... the track. Starts off similar to Colossus a instrumental opening with a sudden burst of vocals, the production really good and brings the song to life. You can easily hear each member of the band playing their respected instrument, Paul's vocals are really good on this song and it does feel a bit more radio friendly than the last offering (the free download). Towards the end it picks up speed after the chorus has a drop. The guitar around the 1.50min mark somehow reminds me of Little Thoughts by Bloc Party, maybe a influence Gordon has put upon them? Or just a coincidence.

With a common love of riffs/noise, it seems only natural that after paving the indie/electro wave for Gordon, and Paul honing his pop sensibilities in The Automatic, they would both enjoy a chance to rock out at ultra-volume. The band, completed by drummer William Bowerman (Brontide/ex-Iwasacubscout/La Roux), will be releasing their first 7inch on Holy Roar

This has constantly been around my ears since I have had it on my PC. Seriously, buy it, download it, don't steal music.

Track of the day... Young Legionnaire - Colossus

Remember Bloc Party? Well, here is their Bassist (and a few more instrumets (Drums, Glockenspiel, Keyboard)) with his side project. I mean I just love how all Bloc Party side projects all sound differant! So...

Young Legionnaire, they played their first, and to my knowledge first gig way back in January. This song is called Colossus, its a free stream track from their facebook site and their soundcloud account.



Seems pretty similar to the type of stuff they played at the gig. Not really keen on the first minute or so but it is fantastic towards the end. Listened to it three times and I'm completely in love with it. It's pretty close to what I was expecting, and if a later recording of this gets a bit beefed up it could be even better.

Now I don't actually have a MP3 of this song to review but rather I'd review a upcoming side-project. Fiver was played at the debut gig in Shoreditch a few weeks ago.
