'a pretty, vitriolic lament in the vein of Bloc Party or Arcade
Fire....The quest for good heartfelt sweeping vitriol is one which I
think we'd all sign up for. And this is very good indeed' -
www.rockbeatstone.com
'‘Car/Plane/Boat’ is sensational. It’s subtle and moving, the singer sounds as if his heart has been broken so many times it’s pieced together by paperclips....Clearly a band that aren’t afraid to bear their soul, head straight to their myspace and join the Battle For Prague.'-
It’s not a quiet life, it’s managing to wake up every day and not give in. Sit in traffic, it's better than being in the office, you can change the station. Put some money away every month saving for a rainy day, a car, a house, something you already have but better. Wouldn't you rather be on a beach? Let’s run to the Galapagos and watch turtles f**k in the sun. I'd miss TV. Google your friends. Reinvent yourself on the Internet. Set yourself realistic goals, like making it through the next hour. The 21st century is a scary place. Worry about the environment, nanotechnology, cloning, and globalisation, but don’t panic, you’ll probably die before it all implodes. Vote for none of the above. Change your politics when you see your pay slip, the more you get paid the less you seem to do. Aspire to be the manager that you hate. Write I am bored a thousand times on your spreadsheet, wash your mug, go home, and listen to Battle for Prague.
We are 4 musicians who want to make music that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, because the right song at the right moment makes it all good. Lets laugh and cry, and feel alive……… Battle for Prague
Battle for Prague are Greg Milner (guitar/vocals), Lottie (drums), Greg Cox (guitar) and Tom (bass), they are a Birmingham based band and have played gigs at Bar Academy, Barfly, The Jug of Ale, The Flapper and Firkin, and Club NME with Pop Levi.
Their sound is often compared to bands such as Bloc Party, Arcade Fire and Clap your hands say yeah!
Fraid I'm living in the beautiful Isle of Wight with the fella these days so gigs have cut down to bare minimum. I played my own tunage down the local the other week though...one tune but that was enough to get my bones trembling hehe.
Hope the band is going well?? Will keep my eyes open for any of your gigs in Brum as we do visit when ever possible.
