This person may or may not have deleted his Somerset Session EP code
Personally, I always use Grooveshark for when I suddenly get an odd compulsion to listen to a specific song from the depths of my subconscious memory. The other day it was BOOM BOOM BOOM LEMME HEAR YOU SAY WEEAY. Can I get in trouble for publishing that? *Calls Ben*
Anyway, yesterday it was the Last of the Mohicans theme tune, Promontory. Good film that.
Well now you can check us out on these mediums, so if you find yourself unable to get a Somerset EP because you accidentally deleted the email we sent you with the code to get a free one (not mentioning names but Jon Gregory), then go to grooveshark and listen there.
Then buy one.

Following on from Somerset Session EP which was released back in November last year, the Stepping Off The Train single will be available from mid April 2010. This will feature the title track and Wrong Side of the Tracks as the B-side.
We hit the studio again the first weekend of February to begin laying down parts for the next couple of tunes. A lot of new gear has been bought since the last recording, most notably Jack’s beautiful, silver Taye drum kit, purchased as a complete surprise by his parents (Simon – now that’s great parenting, by the way I need a new guitar). Our drum sound is now so much fuller (Jack – and Louder) with a wonderful presence that fills the room with rock!
A new Ampeg SVT 450 has also been added to the rhythm backline, to provide a much improved sound over the old Behringer amp. The studio gear has also had many additions. Three Blue Ball Mics have joined the family of dynamic microphones, these very unique looking mics, produced by the famous high end, ribbon mic manufacturer, Blue, are prefect for electric guitars, drums and other high SPL applications. They have such a great off axis sound rejection which is great in both live and studio situations which we

Who says Ben does all the work?
revel in. (Simon – Don’t forget to tell them about the Phase Reversal Cannons, I have no idea what they do, but with a name like that it must be cool).
An 8″ homemade subkick has also been added to the studio microphone complement. This is often employed by studio engineers to enhance the really low end of kick drums to give a more hearty boom! Look at the drum kit a the next gig you go to, you’ll be surprised how many people use them. You also won’t be disappointed at the effect it’s had on the kick drum sound of the new single. This, added to the sound of the phat new kit gives a sound that’ll have you making a mess in no time.
The main goals of the February session were to record the bass and drums for the two new tracks. This was done fairly comfortably over the weekend. The acoustic guitar parts for Stepping off the Train were recorded a few days ago and it’s looking like the electric guitars for the two tracks will be recorded during the first weekend of March.
peace, love and death metal,

Somerset Session EP Review
As if you needed any more of an excuse to get the Somerset Session EP, Bournemouth Echo’s Sarah Cartlidge has given it a review. It goes a little bit something exactly like this.
Yellowgroove – Somerset Session EP - 4/5
The combination of stoner rock, folk and blues may feel like it’s going to be challenging when you hear opener These Times, but stick with it. The four-piece draw on their influences from the likes of Mac and Zeppelin, delivering a penetrative, retro, and surprisingly hypnotic sound.
So if you still haven’t been hypnotised by the Somerset Session E.P. you can grab your self a copy here. http://music.yellowgroove.co.uk/album/somerset-session-ep
