Reviews are still coming in fast and furious for the new Stonecollar album. Now, Channel 24 have published an article featuring Stonecollar: Channel 24 - Is Hard Rock Dead in SA?

"With CD sales declining globally across all genres, and the further monopolising of airwaves by the Top40 playlists, certain 'genres' of music previously thought to be the staple of suburban identity have fallen by the wayside. Or have they?

In South Africa, rock is historically regarded as music played by and for the white suburban teenager. The harder brands of rock in particular have retreated into the dark corners of those suburban alleys, but can still be found thriving there, albeit on a smaller scale.

One band that happens to serve as a great example of this is Cape Town outfit STONECOLLAR, who are about to launch their debut album, and have been getting lots of positive buzz from international weblogs and such with preview and demo tracks." [...read more]

Don't forget that Stonecollar are holding their album launch party on the 17th May at Mercury Live.

The Sleepers Press Release November 2010

We hope everyone is feeling sufficiently fresh after the long weekend at Synergy. Thanks to all who came and watched us play what was, to us, one of our best shows ever.

As those of you who have read this month’s LMG will know, we have some sad news. Simon Tamblyn is stepping down as vocalist for The Sleepers to pursue other adventures. Simon has been an integral part of the band for the past seven years and his immense creative talent, dedication and hard work has helped shape the band and its members. We are sad to see him go but wish him the best of luck in his future pursuits.

This isn't the end of the Sleepers, this is really just the beginning of a new chapter. Our intention for The Sleepers has always been to constantly evolve and we see this as another opportunity to do just that. We will be holding auditions for a new vocalist, while at the same time exploring other musical avenues. Keep an ear to the ground and an eye on what this new and exciting future holds.

Love,
The Sleepers
