  • Country Song
    SEETHER - COUNTRY SONG - COUNTRY SEETHER bitenewsingles Images courtesy of: Digital Rebel PR courtesyImages of: he first quarter of 2012 is set to be very busy for post-grunge and alternative metal band, TSeether. Not only did they release their new single ‘Country Song’ in February, but their fifth album Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray is out this month. The South African band is also touring the UK in March. Released in the US last May, their new album has been long-awaited on our shores. The lead single, ‘Country Song,’ was number one on Active Rock Radio for a staggering eleven weeks, the most played song on the station that year, beating the Foo Fighters, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Staind. Furthermore, the single has been named as the number one Active Rock Song of the Year in Canada, and earned the title of number one Heritage Rock Artist of 2011 from Billboard. These achievements combined with the group’s highest album charting of number two with Holding Onto String, on the Billboard chart, means that Seether has a lot to be proud of. ‘Country Song’ itself is a constant, steady drumbeat of twangy, country guitar, bitter yet witty lyrics, gruff and gritty vocals from Shaun Morgan, and a heawvy but catchy chorus with anthem-worthy chants and cheers. As an introductory song to the rest of the album, ‘Country Song,’ is likely to leave many rock fans desperate for more. The full Seether tour includes stopovers in Europe, Asia, and Australia. http://www.seether.com/ Foo Fighters - These Days he all-conquering Foo Fighters countless awards.

    seether album download Seether. Seether is a post-grunge/alternative metal band which formed in Pretoria, South Africa in 1999. The band currently consists of Shaun Morgan (vocals, guitar), Dale Stewart (bass, vocals) and John Humphrey (drums). The band has released six albums and is currently signed to Wind-Up Records in the United States. Early days, Fragile, Disclaimer The band was originally called Saron Gas, but changed their name to Seether. Early days, Fragile, Disclaimer. The band was originally called Saron Gas, but changed their name to Seether. Saron Gas had their origins in Johannesburg, a city of South Africa, and the earliest days of the group saw their public appearances at parties, nightclubs, small-scale concerts and University venues, such as the University of Cape Town and the University of Stellenbosch, where they played for the lunch-time crowds in the Neelsie centre on the latter campus as late as the summer of 2001. As Saron Gas, the band released its first album, Fragile on Musketeer Records, in 2000 in South Africa. Upon achieving success on the South African music charts, Wind-up Records took an interest in Saron Gas' melodic-yet-heavy sound and signed them to the label. The band was asked to change their name due to Saron Gas being a homophone of sarin gas, a deadly nerve agent discovered (but never used in war) by Nazi Germany during World War II.[citation needed] The band changed its name to Seether in honor of Veruca Salt's song titled, "Seether". Success and Disclaimer II. After Disclaimer was released, the band went on a non-stop touring route in hopes of boosting sales and name recognition.

  • Download Seether Album Gasoline Torrent Disclaimer
    download seether album gasoline torrent Disclaimer. The hard rock trio known as Seether has concocted an album that is ripe with vulnerable angst, as Disclaimer is a debut that follows the path that bands such as Staind and Cold have capitalized on in the 21st century. In fact, Seether's moody rock edge borders on the formerly prominent grunge style once championed by another trio, Nirvana. This comparison may be a bit overboard, yet the first half of Seether's debut does expose a visible Cobain influence on these three men from South Africa. Songs like "Gasoline" and "69 Tea" are overbearing and weigh heavy on the listener's mood as Seether churns through these aggressive yet depressive bursts of attitude. The album evens out as it progresses, as tracks such as "Driven Under" and "Pride" are reluctantly catchy yet assuredly satisfying in riling one up or allowing you to calm yourself down. Seether reveals its weak side on the mellower songs, as "Sympathetic" and "Fade Away" stumble along like the group is unsure of itself. They are much more comfortable in the raging aggro stomp of "Pig" and "F**k It," which could become a volatile theme for the Y generation. The album closes with the one successful laid-back song: "Broken" is mellow yet confident, as vocalist Shaun Morgan finds the courage to open himself up without releasing a scream every few seconds. Disclaimer is an album that breaks no new ground, yet manages to find its footing as it unfolds and eventually wins the listener over with moody determination.
