Feature: Tell It To The Marines - 'Bridges' Track By Track Guide

'Bridges' by Tell It To The Marines is available now on All Aboard Records.

Flareguns

Flareguns i think was the hardest one to do vocally as we kept running into problems with random things. I remember me & Dan pretty much nearing on to a fist fight because he made a comment about my vocals, which i took unnecessarily personal. I remember making him going outside whilst i sat at the dinner table over eating darylea dunkers out of protest. Not the most rock & roll story, but oh well. It felt like a chance to just really write a bunch of ramblings about some honest truths. I guess it's my most honest lyrics in the sense that it's not all hidden away with lame imagery or obvious references.

I don't think i noticed how dark some of the lyrics are until i heard it in the car on the way back. However I think alot of it is just about, how whilst sometimes I'm a complete miserable bastard, there's a part of me telling me to shut up being such a little girl & to get on with life. The chorus chants involves everyone who came to the studio on the last day. Our best friends Sam & Adam, as well as my Brother Matt joined us in this huge room which was supposedly a converted kiln. We all stood round in a circle and just shouted our arses off. Makes it mean that much more to everyone I think.

Album Review: Tell It To The Marines - Bridges EP

After the promising recent single 'Fireworks', Tell It To The Marines unleash their debut EP 'Bridges'. The Cambridge 4-piece showcase atmospheric guitars with adrenaline-filled vocals. From opening track 'Flareguns', the echo-y, distant guitars compliment Timi Hyland's confident and calm vocals, as the rest of group cry out 'Alive!, Alive!'.

'My New Best Friend' is a stomping, upbeat number with mature lyrics that are delivered with plenty of attitude and passion, that adds depth to the bands atmospheric indie-rock.

Single Review Round-Up: Tell It To The Marines, Swound!, Green Day, Outraze and Crazy Arm

Our latest single review round-up includes new singles from Tell It To The Marines, Swound!, Green Day, Outraze and Crazy Arm.

Tell It To The Marines - Fireworks
Released on October 26th on All Aboard Records

As a sneak preview to their new 'Bridges' EP, Cambridge 5-piece set big expectations with 'Fireworks', a 3 and half minute gem of indie pop-punk goodness. A good blend of straining vocals from Timi Hyland and distant, crawling guitars leave a strong impression. Add to this a highly favourable chorus, as well as a strong b-side in 'Breakfast Club', which wouldn't sound out of place on a daytime Radio 1 show presented by some lame presenter. Although it must be noted that it is an old strong and does not fit in with bands new direction (seen on the a-side).

4/5

Swound! - Predator 3
Released on November 2nd on Stressed Sumo.

The first impression I get of Swound!'s latest single, is one of band that must be fans of Weezer's debut album (the Blue album). A stripped down, upbeat rock sound led by a ropey bassline and a simple beat that you will end up tapping your foot allong with. Whilst Joe Staszkiewicz vocal delivery fits well and leaves you wanting to hear what else the band has else to offer.

3.5/5

Green Day - East Jesus Nowhere
Released on October 19th

Just in time for their UK tour, stadium rockers (let's admit it, that's what Green Day are now) release their 3rd single from the grand and ambitious '21st Century Breakdown'. If you've heard the album, 'East Jesus Nowehere' is a throwaway single as on its own it sounds dull and predictable, whereas on the album it fits in with its theme and lyrical concept. Although it does its lyrics are thoughtful, it is something we have not something different we have heard from Green Day in recent years.

2/5

Outraze - Rebel Blues
Released on November 1st

Class this one under "For fans of Kasabian" as you would easily be fooled its critical praised Leicestershire 5-piece. Instead its Oxfordshire's Otraze 'Rebel Blues' has that brash, indie Rock 'n' Roll sound; fuzzy guitar riffs, confident vocal delivery from Andy White' and swaggering beat. It all sounds impressive but unfortunalty its been done before and better.

2/5

Crazy Arm - Henry Fabian Flynn
Released on November 2nd on Xtra Mile Recordings

With a folk-like edge and a hint of fast-paced punk rock comes Crazy Arm's latest single 'Henry Fabian Flynn'. The track's verse is calm before it erupts into a frenzy of punk rock angst, that is complimented by a vocal delivery that isn't over the top and brings some normality to the track.

B-Sides 'Roasting River' and 'Poverty and Spit' is more of the folky punk rock with a slight country tone, although the latter is a more angrier track that goes at a furious pace.

3/5
