Wayne Robbins and The Hellsayers - Lonesome Sea

Wayne Robbins & The Hellsayers, The Lonesome Sea

I found this album in the £1 discount box at Rough Trade records. Lucky for me. Why it was only £1 I do not know, probably because people haven't been braiwashed by advertising into buying it. Do not be deceived however because the treasures that you can find in music are sometimes hidden far away in the back corners of a record shop.

So I listened to the music and was pretty happy with my purchase, the album lifts you up and pulls your strings with sounds that range from dreamy slide guitar to distorted and noisy guitars all the while keeping the melody strong and impulsive. The songs draw you in and the album actually does sound like a lonesome sea, nice title. The album has a song called Forgiveness and that is by far my favourite.

Hopefully they keep making amazing music, it is always sad when really good bands give up because the music industry was too busy wasting it's time and money on complete shite music filled with cliches, tricks, and gimicks. I'm hoping for a change in attitude but only the consumer can cause that to happen.

  1. They just released their 2nd CD, Love is All you Need to Sleep. They are a GREAT band from North Carolina. One of our favorites from anywhere. www.hellsayers.com
