  • Scott, Thin LizzyScott, Thin Lizzy: ilikemusic because... It lets my adrenalin start pumping, it gets aggression out, and sometimes I can actually get emotional with it. There are many reasons why I like music.
  • Ellen, Los CampesinosEllen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
  • Sian EvansSian Evans: ilikemusic because... when everyone you cared about lets you down (e.g. friends, boyfriend, parents) all at the same time music will always be there to pick you up and help you move on. ;-)
  • Jo WhileyJo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
  • PenguinPenguin: ilikemusic because... Music is the one thing that really connects people. In the words of The King Blues: music can bring the world together :)

The Rumble Strips - Welcome To The Walk Alone


Daniel epitomises the grand scale of the band's ambition. In three minutes, they've crafted an epic pop-noir song, centred around sweeping strings and the addictive refrain of the title.

With its rousing brass and stampeding drums, London is the song closest to anything off their debut, whereas the rest of the album reveals greater depth and new directions in the band's song writing. Happy Hell is built around Ennio Morricone-eqsue guitar lines whilst Sweet Heart Hooligan is a beautiful end of the night moment. Perhaps the album's key track is the title song: described by Mark Ronson as "his proudest achievement", Welcome to The Walk Alone opens like a woozy funeral march and captures the sound of a band hitting their stride.

The Rumble Strips are:
Charles Waller - Vox / Guitar
Matthew Wheeler - drums
Henry Clark - keys / trumpet
Thomas Gorbutt - Sax / bass
Sam Mansbridge - Bass/ Percussionpage << 1 2 3 >>
