 Artist: Scatterbrain: mp3 download Genre(s): Trance: Psychedelic Discography:  Infernal Angel Year: 2003 Tracks: 7 Scatterbrain was born out of the remains of Ludichrist, when vocalizer Tommy Christ and guitarists Glenn Cummings and Paul Nieder got tired of playing conventional metallic element. They added drummer Mike Boyko and bassist Guy Brogna. Scatterbrain's music is much more than wide-ranging than Ludichrist's; the ring can can cover rap, casimir Funk, and regular classic influences as considerably as metallic element. Their lyrics are ofttimes humorous, and the band as a whole is usually quite originative. |

The Shins set to self-release next album
After three albums released through Sub Pop, The Shins are going out on their own to put out their fourth LP.
However, the band could still remain connected to the Seattle-based label through distribution, according to reports today.
"The deal will be more of a [pressing and distribution] deal than a traditional record deal," Shins manager Ian Montone told Billboard. "That partner could very well remain Sub Pop, who have done a remarkable job with the band and have a great staff of people who really love music. It could be a digital partner with respect to other rights. All of this is being determined. The first goal is to make the record and see where that takes us."
The band who have sold over 1.5 million albums in the US alone, are looking to sign a deal with a label that will enable them to retain ownership of their masters and utilise the label's marketing and radio promotion tools.
Last year�??s �??Wincing The Night Away�?? debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard chart.

Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson: 'We're better than Oasis'
Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson says his band are more popular in Britain than Oasis.
The 'I Predict a Riot' hitmaker believes the Manchester rockers have "disappeared up their own a***" and the Kaisers have replaced them as Britain's favorite band.
He says, "Oasis have disappeared up their own a***. They think they are Led Zeppelin. They're not.
"Music has moved on and I think we are the band that most music fans would see as their successor."
Ricky also spoke of the band's new album - and it's already being tipped as their best yet.
He adds, "Our new album is shaping up. I reckon it�s our best stuff yet.
"I played it to our manager the other day, who has known us for over ten years, and a smile just spread across his face as soon as he heard it.
"He reckons that it�s the best material we have come up with.
"It isn�t finished but, in my mind, I know exactly where the vocals are going now and how it will sound. Mark Ronson is producing the album. He turned down a lot of people to work with us � a lot of big names, who I won�t mention.
"When he does that to work with us, we must be doing something well."
