White Noise

[Adele]

Album title apparently.

Source: http://www.bombshellzine.com/newspage/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3133

I like it, but it feels odd.

[Deadcat Kaye]

wooaahhh cool.
Sounds alright.

[Kacky]

Interesting. I like it so far! :)

[mel_bound]

:eek:
I liiiiiike it :D

[_jimmy_]

doesnt sound like anything they would use but i like it

[Craigels]

oooohhhhh aaaaahhhhh


wasn't expecting that but then again i wasn't really wondering what the album will be called.

[Habibster]

Sounds interesting ;)

[WHITE FALCON]

hmmmm ponder on this thought i will

[Caity]

Hmm. I dunno.

[Aaron]

Lacks a bit of punch, from the sound of it. But I hope the cover is a good 'un! (And, of course, the content!)

[WHITE FALCON]

maybe the cover will just be white :)

[mel_bound]

I fucken hope not. been done before huh.
I'm still liking the name.

[E.B.]

Its not a bad album title
but yeah, its definitely odd for them

[Kev]

I think I'll wait until Rae or Woody break the news, rather than some online 'zine.

[WHITE FALCON]

yaah i agree with kev
could be a load of bum
white noise as a technical term is just every frequency at the same time and level so it has infinite power.
TLE has infinte power ;)

[damo0945]

be really hard to find on itunes if nothing else... there's heaps of relaxation white noise. but yeah it's ok, unexpected and that is a really short article too

[mel_bound]

Well if they don't use it for something I will instead :p

[Colezy]

I think I'll wait until Rae or Woody break the news, rather than some online 'zine.
Same here.

But still...interesting title. Sounds very arty...completely opposite to how the songs sound.

[thelivingvines]

ooohhh, totally not what i expected. All of their other album titles- with the exception of the living end- have had some sort of sense of immediacy in their titles. I like it though, perhaps it's indicative that they see this as a different sort of album....

[Colezy]

Yeah maybe...it just doesn't seem to fit though. Unless there are a few more tracks that they've come up with, like they always seem to do when it recording time!

[Sarah]

oooh, thanks for the news Adele!

I like the title, very different. I was thinking of the Nathan Fillion movie when I read the title, so that's always a good thing :p

No long now kiddies :D

[Amur]

don't really now how it fits with new songs.
maybe they're going to do something in Nine Inch Nails style?:D (that's just my association)

[Kacky]

Real or not, I still really like it. :p

[RTR_Flo]

Well, it reminds me a little bit of The Clash..

So cool - we've been waiting for.. a year?.. now and then these things happen so fast.. :D

[WhitefalconTLE44]

Yeah, i like it, but lets wait for something official.

[mattheal]

Sounds like a good name for an album, but im not convivnced its what the boys will or should use


So cool - we've been waiting for.. a year?.. now and then these things happen so fast.. :D

Two years for us aussies

[Kacky]

It'll be a good two years for us North Americans when July hits. I'll probably get my copy imported because the chances are it'll be released later here anyway.

[Burner]

meh.


That is to say, a 10 character long 'meh'

[RTR_Flo]

Sounds like a good name for an album, but im not convivnced its what the boys will or should use



Two years for us aussies

Well, I was talking 'bout the fact they anounced the album first for 2007.. ;)

[The Dying Start]

It should be "Interacial Noise", otherwise it might be seen as a little racist.

[thelivingvines]

"if you were to ask how much more white it could get.... the answer is none... none more white..."

that's all I keep thinking.

[Craigels]

It should be "Interacial Noise", otherwise it might be seen as a little racist.


a little racist? i don't see the racism

[Jonnno]

a little racist? i don't see the racism

[Craigels]

I'll re-phrase that:

That's not racist.

anyway thiis probly gonna be an ongoing debate about racism so lets leave it at that and get back on the topic of TLE and stuff.

[Colezy]

I think that Loaded Gun would sound cool for an album name. But then that'd probably spark a big debate too :rolleyes:

[gretsch25]

I like the album title. It doesn't give away the style of music that will be on the album. Also, the little blurb said that the album was recorded in NJ. That's past tense, so does it mean they are done recording?

[Burner]

Well a different source says San Fransisco, and the end of July.

[Kacky]

Another source said New York!

[The Dying Start]

Another sauce said Rosella tomato.

[Neo]

white noise is kinda lame.

[Colezy]

I'm liking it less and less, I think.

It just doesn't fit the feel/sound of this record. At all. Unless for some strange reason, they have dramatically changed each song from when they were played on the longnecks tour. But I can't see that happening..especially since the Hoboken vids sounds pretty much the same...

/rambling :p

[_jimmy_]

I think that Loaded Gun would sound cool for an album name. But then that'd probably spark a big debate too :rolleyes:

Thats a good idea!

White Noise is already losing its novelty and its not even confirmed yet!

[Infiction]

it reminds me of something rage against the machine would call an album, not at all tle. but that's just me.

[Jonnno]

it reminds me of something rage against the machine would call an album, not at all tle. but that's just me.

Yeah, i see that.

[tanguyen]

They should name it Chinese Democracy and see what Axl does.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

I don't really care about the title of the record. Its the music thats on it that matters:D

[The Dying Start]

You're weird. I just want to stare at the title all day.

[Sarah]

There was a part of me that kind of wished the title was called Hoboken Happiness, cos that'd just be cute :p

[Colezy]

Naww. That would be cute. And therefore, I don't see it happening :p haha

[|<3|]

i always knew that they were white supremacists.

[i_heart_you]

"white noise" wasn't what i was expecting...but it doesn't really matter. it could be "lollipops in candyland" and i'd still love it, but i think by going with a more mysterious title, they're trying to reach a different base. which is always solid, i think they need to expand their fan base a little.

...and they should use the cover i made in art, cos it's kickass! :D

[May]

You're weird. I just want to stare at the titties all day.
We know...

White noise from the white boys...
Not grabbing me as a title, but neither did Modern ARTillery or State of Emergency as titles :cool:

I just sincerely hope the album isnt "oh yeah, we're really pumped for this, it's gonna be the best yet" and turns out to fizzle...

[Burner]

I just sincerely hope the album isnt "oh yeah, we're really pumped for this, it's gonna be the best yet" and turns out to fizzle...

Wasn't State of Emergency like all that? I don't think that fizzled.

[Jonnno]

No I think she's talking about modern artillery.

[_jimmy_]

I think SOE is their best so far really. Not a bad song on it.

From what i hear the new album sounds 'polished' if you get me

[Jonnno]

I think SOE is their best so far really. Not a bad song on it.

From what i hear the new album sounds 'polished' if you get me

I don't think so at all, in fact its hard to make that judgement when we haven't even heard a full recording yet.

[May]

I don't think that fizzled.
Guess that's a matter of opinion :p

[_jimmy_]

i guess so...but still from what I hear :p

still going to be good no doubt

I hope Raise The Alarm is going to be on their

[Neo]

white noise sounds like it wants to be a badass name but its failing terribly. its too clean to fit with what the guys were describing how the album was going to be, and its just really really lame.

[May]

I hope Raise The Alarm is going to be on their
*there ffs

i guess so...but still from what I hear :p

still going to be good no doubt
Dont get me wrong, I loved alot of what I heard at the Longnecks shows, but I've ridden this roller coaster (toaster :p ) a few times before...

[Sarah]

haha, I'm a little scared myself! I know i'll love it regardless, but to what degree...?

I still maintain that too much emphasis is put on recording/production of their albums. For me I can listen to Roll On and MA pretty much non-stop, but SOE is one of those albums that feels almost like a chore to listen to, rather then something i look forward to hearing again. Sure they may have put down SOE just how they wanted it, but I personally think the songs on Roll On and MA are superior - although in saying all that SOE isn't a bad album at all. But as long as they're happy with it that's all that matters :)

[garbarek1078]

Can't help thinking after watching Silverchair's cover of I don't Wanna be the one at the Aria Hall of Fame - the introduction of Bono where he says 'Maintain your rage'. Maybe that would have been a better title for the new album, but then they know better than me.

I thought lyrically Modern Artillery was better than SOE, production better on SOE than MA, but you just wish Chris would write something along the lines of All Torn Down, Second Solution - something with a proper message or a prophecy of the times ahead.

[Moose]

You may all be missing a reference here - to Stiff Little Fingers 'White Noise'.

If you don't know SLF you'll find a lot of similarities between TLE and SLF's poppier sides. Save the Day and Who's Gonna Save Us are very SLF.

There aren't many vids of 'White Noise', but here's one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k18kHNUw0b8

It was very controversial for about five minutes in the late 70's when some newspapers tried to expose it as racist. It is of course anti-racist.

Dunno about it as a title - suggests we are going to get alot of feedback in the mix. It sounds a bit old hat too.

Why not just call it 'Raise the Alarm'?

[thelivingvines]

you know what? as important as you guys are making it out to be, it's the music that's on the record that makes it what it is, not the album title.

[Gretsch_WF_08]

you know what? as important as you guys are making it out to be, it's the music that's on the record that makes it what it is, not the album title.

ya but every time you go to open up the case and pop in the cd, you'll be looking right at it, unless its on itunes, in which case it will mention it depending on the settings you have on...

[Deadcat Kaye]

you know what? as important as you guys are making it out to be, it's the music that's on the record that makes it what it is, not the album title.

That is true..For us it is about the songs on the album, but for people browsing a music shop they'll want a album name that sticks out.
And I reckon "White Noise" sticks out a fair bit.
In a good way

[Colezy]

I'm liking it less and less, I think.

It just doesn't fit the feel/sound of this record. At all. Unless for some strange reason, they have dramatically changed each song from when they were played on the longnecks tour. But I can't see that happening..especially since the Hoboken vids sounds pretty much the same...

/rambling :p

I take that back :p

I'm starting to like it again :rolleyes:

[_jimmy_]

Why not just call it 'Raise the Alarm'?

nuff said! :D

[Infiction]

'raise the alarm' reminds me of 'state of emergency', I'm not really sure why.

[thelivingvines]

since when, may I ask, have you ever - and I expect you to be honest here- walked into a music store and bought an album based purely on the album title? I have never ever done that.
The album title itself is not something that generates many if any sales. It's certainly something that an album is remembered for later on- whether for good or bad or merely for distinguishing it from other albums by the same artist.
It's the music that generates sales, whether through radio/TV play, advertising, touring, through the bands reputation, or through other promotion- the album title just doesn't come into consideration.

[Sean11]

Are they going too far mainstream? too commercial rock? :confused:

[Colezy]

Nope. I don't think they are. But that's just my opinion.

[Burner]

Guess that's a matter of opinion :p

I was basing that on its success in the charts etc. not as a single opinion. But y'no, i didn't realise that you didn't think much of that album.

[Neo]

since when, may I ask, have you ever - and I expect you to be honest here- walked into a music store and bought an album based purely on the album title?

I do that all the time! :cool: first impressions count and the first impressions I get from a cd is the title, cover art and the song titles on the back.

[May]

I was basing that on its success in the charts etc. not as a single opinion.
I gathered as much. But sales didnt match my response to it, so my take on it was a little different. And because I knew how you meant it, I put the :p to indicate I was being a little cheeky in pretending to misinterperet it.
But y'no, i didn't realise that you didn't think much of that album
Wouldn't have expected ya to :)

Look. It had alot of promise, but somehow just never lived upto it's potential. IMO
If my kids didn't like it, it would've collected quite a bit of dust by now...

[mel_bound]

I hope they don't call it Raise The Alarm, too similar to State Of Emergency, and I'm sorta over that angle. I'm still digging White Noise :D :D

[Sean11]

i agree.... its sorta....... its gunna be a very new TLE i think....... better or worse... time will tell but they will still be TLE ;)

[Amur]

I hope they don't call it Raise The Alarm, too similar to State Of Emergency...
although they could make a decent line up of synonym titles =) :p

[Strider]

Stooolen from a movie title.

[chiefdave]

Stooolen from a movie title.

and anthrax had an album called sound of white noise

[mel_bound]

White Noise? It's not from a movie, it's an actual type of sound. Sciency and all that

yay wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise)

[garbarek1078]

I've increasingly believed that the social commentary and politics in Chris Cheney's lyrics, and the sound of the TLE in rock mode is similar to that of the Manics Street Preachers, except Nicky Wire (Jones) references people like Jung, CAmus, Chomsky, and their album titles are often a statement of what they want the record to evoke as a message - Send Away the Tigers - great reference to something Tony Hancock would say when he was unhappy with his writers and delved deeper into his alcoholism.

All the song titles previously touted as being on the album could easily be an album title IMHO, but it's nice when an album title is catchy and has an interesting meaning e.g. Woodface

[Aaron]

Mel! Check the first page! You lose! :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

Mel! Check the first page! You lose! :p

**Phail :p

YOU PHAIL!

[Neo]

this thread keeps reminding me that i need to buy a white noise generator.
/random

[havoc_planet]

It reminds me that Lauren likes White Chocolate!

[billygal]

White Noise? It's not from a movie, it's an actual type of sound. Sciency and all that

yay wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise)

White noise is a random signal (or process) with a flat power spectral density. In other words, the signal's power spectral density has equal power in any band, at any centre frequency, having a given bandwidth. White noise is considered analogous to white light which contains all frequencies

Plot to White noise (the movie 2005)
The title 'White Noise' refers to the phenomenon known as Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). People believe that you can hear voices of the dead in the white noise of a detuned radio and even see faces from the white noise on the television set... .


There are also cd's called white noise that are relaxation tapes and a band called white noise so while title is not what you would expect its certainly not uncommon. This could turn out to be a problem when people start looking for it

[Deadcat Kaye]

It reminds me that Lauren likes White Chocolate!

You do know how foul and gross you are.

[RollOn]

I believe for once he's actually talking about chocolate Amy.
Because I do in fact happen to like white chocolate alot more than milk chocolate.

Now who wants to buy me some? :D

[_jimmy_]

White chocolate gets a little too sweet..but is good in moderation~

I could go for some right now...:p

Hoboken Happiness #4....WHERE!?

[Colezy]

I'm on a dark chocolate binge at the moment! :D Yummo!

[Sarah]

White chocolate gets a little too sweet..but is good in moderation~

I could go for some right now...:p

Hoboken Happiness #4....WHERE!?


and mayowhite chocolate and mayo

[mel_bound]

Mel! Check the first page! You lose! :p
I know you posted links on the first page, I was reitterating
hooray!

[Neo]

Pfft. white chocolate isnt even chocolate! it doesnt even contain cocoa solids, only cocoa butter.

[_jimmy_]

I learnt something new :p

I really think TLE should consider a new name...like what Neo said before

trying to sound cool but not getting there at all

[Jessii]

Makes me think of a interview before MA came out, where the vj asked what the album was gonna be called and Chris said 'Modern Artillery", and the vj just went ".......Great." Chris said "Yeah nice reaction, i read on the msg board they are disecting it, it's just a name folks!!"

[_jimmy_]

hahaha

SOE is their best title by far i think

[Kacky]

White chocolate is da bomb!

[Madtwins]

We like the "White noise" as title of TLE album. Why not? It's little bit misterious and we sure have meaning like it always be. We wait for new title and new ard design of new album booklet because TLE always was super in it! We believe that this time it also will be oh high level.
And also we agree with all who said that music is more important then title and all stuff, but like artists we think that image, style and messages in title and design of CD is very important and influential !

[The Dying Start]

Amen to that, sisters.

[goon]

It looks like we have a release date!

19th of July!!!!

[May]

Inconceivable!

[goon]

......and theres gonna be some songs on the radio in the next couple of weeks

Boooyah!!!!! can't wait.

[Rae]

I've just heard the first single. My first thought was that this is the closest to the live sound they've ever captured in the studio.

But you'll make up your own minds. No point me telling you I'm DAMN excited cause it sounds AMAZING. Brendan O'Brien is a God. John Agnello is a God.

[BennyD]

can you tell us any more info on when the first single will be on radio or is going to be released?

[goon]

I've just heard the first single. My first thought was that this is the closest to the live sound they've ever captured in the studio.

Awweeesssooommmeee!

[rymo]

good news but why the sydney gig they have like 3 festivals coming up in nsw

good news nevertheless :D

[_jimmy_]

good news indeed! :D

[goon]

good news but why the sydney gig they have like 3 festivals coming up in nsw

Yea 3 in 5 months in 3 different parts of the state.

Anyhow, I have the feeling that this gig is gonna be alot more of new material rather than a festival friendly set.

[rymo]

true but hopefully melb will get some love soon also

[goon]

true but hopefully melb will get some love soon also

Victoria got a whole longnecks tour, and Sydney get one equivalent. I feel for all the others around the country who haven't had a chance at all yet. I'm sure they'll get their gigs when the album is released.

[Sarah]

All good news - only wish i could get to Sydney for the show.

Anyway, very much looking forward to new songs on the radio, July 19th and all the excitement that is a new TLE album :D

Rae, it only seems like yesterday you were on here telling us how good the SOE songs were :p

[Shadow]

Someone's created and updated the wikipedia entry for White Noise, but it was a total shocker in the spelling and grammar department, so I fixed it up, and added a few of the songs from the Longnecks tour that the person left off. I wonder if TLE wrote any completely unheard songs (eg. not played on the Longnecks tour) that'll make the album?

[Jessii]

Nice to hear from you Rae. Look forwarding to hearing some radio tracks!

[May]

All good news - only wish i could get to Sydney for the show.

Anyway, very much looking forward to new songs on the radio, July 19th and all the excitement that is a new TLE album :D

Rae, it only seems like yesterday you were on here telling us how good the SOE songs were :p
And MA...and RO... :p

Here's hoping this one kicks.

[Craigels]

Hooray! I'll be counting down the days

I hope a can go to the gig

Offered EXCLUSIVELY to you cause we love you

aaawww thanks

Thanks for that Rae


:D :D :D

[Colezy]

I've decided that I *AM* happy with the title name, as long as it has kickarse cover art to go with it :p

[RTR_Flo]

@Rae: Are there yet any plans of releasing the album also in Europe? It always sucks to wait some weeks till the CD's are shipped from Australia.. :p

[Kacky]

THANKS RAE!

I'm trying so hard not to squeal like a little girl. I'm in the library at school and I don't want to get kicked out! AHHHHHH.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

This is such awesome news. Hopefully they can come to America soon.:D

[Kacky]

Ohh yeah, baby! :D *Dances* This news made my day, I'm such a happy kid right now.

[E.B.]

oh man, I hope I can get tickets for this thing

[Deadcat Kaye]

YAY!

I'm definantly happy with White Noise...it's so new nd stuff and awesome :p
YAY!
JULY 19TH!

[i_heart_you]

Hopefully they can come to America soon.:D

AMEN TO THAT!

i cannot wait at all! i'm so excited, i want some live shows, damnit!

[mattheal]

oh if that gig was a friday i would SO be there...but alas

[mel_bound]

FUCK YEAH! :Dlove you Rae!

[Jonnno]

Awesome! really looking forward to it...dunno what chris was thinking with those pants though.

[_jimmy_]

Awesome! really looking forward to it...dunno what chris was thinking with those pants though.

you read my mind

[AlinaPOW]

I've just heard the first single. My first thought was that this is the closest to the live sound they've ever captured in the studio.

But you'll make up your own minds. No point me telling you I'm DAMN excited cause it sounds AMAZING. Brendan O'Brien is a God. John Agnello is a God.

*sobs a little with joy*
WOO-FARKEN-HOO!!!!!!!!!
Those songs deserve to sound as live as they can get! This is better than counting down 'til my 18th... and apparantely sooner! :D
i love you too rae :-)

[drifta_21]

woot woot, exactly 9 weeks from today. I can't wait, but somethings telling me they've changed. Kinda reminds me of the Roll On era for some reason, but meh. I'm going to the city the day it comes out. THERE BETTER BE A SIGNING!!

[Habibster]

From the sounds of it the new album will be very 'riffy'. I would quite like to see a few heavy-ish rock songs, as i'm not much of a fan of 'poppy' songs. Not sure if thats going to happen or not though. ;)

[Deadcat Kaye]

RATS
RATS
RATS
RATS
RATS
RATS
RATS
:p

[Habibster]

haha yes..

Rats had better be on there, i've only heard the dodgy version on youtube, i'm loving the part where chris starts shredding and they speed it up :)

[AlinaPOW]

RAAAAAAATS
haha... and everything else too please :)
yeah agreed, bring on the riff heavy rockin'!!
PSYCHED PSYCHED PSYCHED PSYCHED :D

[Habibster]

THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Noise_(The_Living_End_album)) has rats in the track listing, is that a sign?? :p.. pretty short album though i must say hehe

[Neo]

I'm kinda scared to be honest! all this talk about heavy riffs and shredding its making me nervous :p TLE don't seem the type of band for that but if they can do it and do it well, I'll be one little happy vegemite :D

I cant wait!

[Deadcat Kaye]

Maybe Raise The Alarm or How Do We Know are the singles that are gonna be released :D

[_jimmy_]

Raise The Alarm! :d

[Adele]

Yeah I'm guessing How Do We Know will be the first single.
There are better songs IMO, though.

[Deadcat Kaye]

What Does Imo Mean?!

[Matt]

in my opinion

[Deadcat Kaye]

aaaaahhhhh IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! :p

[mel_bound]

Psh, that tracklisting doesn't mean anything, remember Wikipedia is edited by people like you and me, who only know what's been discussed on the forum, they might not even be called that anymore. And I do agree that there are better songs than How Do We Know. I WANT LOADED GUNNNNNNNNnnnnnn

[Shadow]

How Do We Know? as first single? Ouch... I don't think it has the "energy" to be a single, let alone the first one. It's a good song, don't get me wrong - but if Raise The Alarm isn't the first single, I'll totally give you all my star wars guys. Except Boba.
I'd like to see Loaded Gun up for consideration as a single at some point.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Lyrically...Raise The Alarm has the potential of being one damn good Single...but then again, so does How Do We Know...but then again, again, so does New Frontier and well...Most of the other songs heard on TLN tour...

[Adele]

New Frontier or Faith would be my picks but are not necessarily be the best representation of the album as a whole... which is what they're probably trying to aim for.

I only suspect How Do We Know to be the first single because it was Chris' favorite during the TLN tour. Things change though so who knows.

[strahanie]

I think New Frontier was the only song where i zoned out a bit, didnt grab me as a single. Raise the Alarm was very catchy, easy chorus bits to sing along with even if you dont know it. I loved Disbeliever, but don't know that lyrics are single material, could be alienating for some.

White noise I can live with, tho the Hobeken Happiness suggestion is sweet, dont know that it sounds very TLEish

To those grumbling "Hey hey disbeliever you're bleeding me dry, come on now listen to reason, and everthing will be fine" ;)

[WhitefalconTLE44]

The only reason i don't want Raise the Alarm or How do we Know as the first single is because i want to hear another song in good quality really soon, and i already have those songs from when they were played back in december(?)

[Kacky]

I don't care what the first single is. All I need is my new TLE fix, and NOW! :Dhttp://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4615/wootco1.gifhttp://img178.imageshack.us/img178/3023/teeheemv4.gif

I don't think words can describe my excitement right now, lol.

[goon]

has anyone heard any info on a ticket limit for the upcoming gig?

[drifta_21]

It's limited to 200 people

[goon]

has anyone heard any info on a ticket limit for the upcoming gig?

It's limited to 200 people

I meant per person

[Craigels]

Blunt Magazine had 4 of the songs listed:
1. How Do We Know
2. Beware The Moon
3. Sum Of Us
4. Make The Call

I'll scan the article soon, when i work out how to use our new scanner.

[Habibster]

Thanks Craigels :)

I'm hoping that there are a fair few b-sides with this album ;)

[Adele]

Whoa! Three unknown songs. Beware The Moon sounds pretty cool.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I thought it said "Beware Wolf" (gyro) when I first glimpsed it...:p

they sound very AWESOME

[mel_bound]

:D hellyeahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Craigels]

ok so scanning isn't going to work, so i'll type it for youse:

BEGINNING OF A NEW 'END: The Living End finds a new groove in Jersey.

Currently wrapping up a fast and furious four-week pre-production and recording stint in New Jersey, Melbourne's favorite sons, The Living End, are feeling the pressure.
"We've set ourselves a goal to get it done in less time than usual and we plan on sticking with it!" TLE's Chris Cheney told BLUNT just prior to the sessions kicking off. "We feel it's enough time for the type of record we want this to be. We've done a lot of work on these songs and they should be bloody great so we're just itching to get in there, press record and play then really fucking loud!"
Recording straight-to-tape at Water Music Studio's, Hoboken, New Jersey with producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, The Hold Steady, Dinosaur Jr.), trio are determined to make their fifth full-lenght effort nothing short of an Oz rock classic.

"A lot of the songs have a depth and weight to them that people haven't necessarily heard from us before," claims Cheney ominously.
The new direction is indeed heavy, with an emphasis on killer grooves and some of the most raw, passionate vocals ever laid down by the band. Containing token Living End single fodder such as "White Noise", the rest of the album sees the band stepping out of their comfort zone, incorporating elements of soul, boogie, Oz rock and dub-reggae into their signature sound.
Among the stand-out working titles heard by BLUNT were the astonishing hard boogie stomp "how Do We Know"; the dark and funkified "Beware The Moon"; the laidback dub jam "Sum Of Us"; and the gnarly Oz rock bellringer "make The Call.
Cheney said: "The songs sound really huge. I wouldn't say heavy metal as such, although there are definately a bunch of metal licks and influences in there. There's more of a '70s hard rockelement but I think you really need to hear it to understand it properly."
The Living End are remaining tight-lipped as to the title of the new record - " It won't be called Number 5 Is Alive," quipped Cheney - which is scheduled for release as early as mid-July through the band's new label Dew Process/Universal.

Matt Reekie

I'll try scanning again soon.

[mel_bound]

I'M EXCITED!!!!!

[WHITE FALCON]

how excited :p
couldnt resist :)

[Colezy]

I told Chelsea, that judging by her PM's to me, she is SO-FUCKING-DAMN-REAL-I-JUST-MIGHT-WET-MYSELF-EXCITED :p haha It's a wonder she already hasn't!

Crazy child, she is! But I love her! :)

[Amur]

talking about upcoming single - well I'll be happy to hear ANY of new songs released first, but only if TLE are going to put on that CD one-two b-side tracks as well =) :o

[gretsch25]

I'm actually happy to hear that this album is taking on a heavier direction. I'm hoping for some songs along the line of "Carry Me Home" with some metal-ish riffs. It's also great to hear that it has a 70's hard rock vibe to it as I'm a huge fan of classic rock.

[Kacky]

Could this Canadian child get ANY HAPPIER?! I THINK NOT.

AHHHHHHHHHH. :D

[thelivingvines]

I'M EXCITED!!!!!

how excited?


reeeeal excited?

[Madtwins]

We hope that first single will be that song which Luke let us hear through mobile telephone. This song have very nice "Oo-o!" in chorus. We love it :o

fuck yeah,Carry me Home and Don't Shut the Gate are both great songs! TLE are damn good at this kind of stuff as well,when they make attempts.:)

[Colezy]

Nah...they're not that much like Roll On stuff, sorry!

Like they boys are saying...new direction and sound.

I wonder if there will be the pre-order dealio again this year?

[Kacky]

I'll definitely pre-order it! I'm sure there'll be an option to do so!

[AlinaPOW]

pre-order FTW!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO psyched!!! Doesn't sound like i can match chels though :p

[mattheal]

i dont think anyone can match chelsea

but im so pissed ill be in japan when the album comes out...:mad:

right in the middle of the trip too, so ill have t buy it the day i get back in the country :mad:

[Amur]

and I will be out of city either so I will be able to order it 2 weeks after it's released.and then wait for 2 weeks for parcel to arrive :mad:

[Deadcat Kaye]

Any word of a DVD being released with this one:confused:

[Colezy]

Dunno, but surely all that filming that was done at the longnecks gigs wouldn't go to waste.

Didn't May say that she heard that there was going to be one sometime?

[Deadcat Kaye]

Dunno, some people filmed vertually all of the Maroondah festival...
It'ld be rad as if they did :D

[Anfony]

I didn't see any cameras at the San Remo gig but I know there was some filming going on at others. It would be nice to see another DVD released with white noise though. I'm pretty sure I read in an older thread that there would be some sort of DVD.
I really can't wait for the album. Not long now :)

[Sarah]

i dont think anyone can match chelsea

but im so pissed ill be in japan when the album comes out...:mad:

that's okay. I'll take your spot in your trip to Japan if you like :p

[Amur]

whatever.
I want How Do We Know to become first single! Love that song so much and hope they're going to release it soon.

[Kacky]

A DVD would be KICKASS! Ahhh, I love new releaseseses.

[Amur]

and new merch.don't forget new t-shirts and posters as well,dear!!

[Kacky]

Of course! How would I forget? ;)

[carrymehomestead]

This may be a stretch, but considering the cited former works of the producer they're using for this one (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.) and those bands penchant for sonic exploration and feedback-laden "noise rock", maybe a title like White Noise means TLE got a bit fuzzy and experimental on this one? Noise rock or "shoegaze" is my favorite genre, if I had to pick one, but it never seemed like something TLE would gravitate towards...a bit of dabbling could suit them quite well, though, me thinks.

[Anfony]

I agree with you Amur about "How do we know" It's a top song, in fact it's the video I've been watching most on youtube for a long time. In the words of the late Big Kev... I'M EXCITED!

[Colezy]

Chris has said in an interview (earlier this year) that shoegazing bands aren't his thing and that he wouldn't go and see one live.
So I doubt that he'd make a new album in that genre and call it their best so far!

[Amur]

yeap I remember that.
so we all can just trust Chris and relax about our doubts =)

[AlinaPOW]

aaaah but who knows what Hoboken can do to judgement??? *waits for pants call*

[AlinaPOW]

Dunno, some people filmed vertually all of the Maroondah festival...
It'ld be rad as if they did :D

the whole Ding Dong gig got filmed too... haha yay, i'm in two shots!! If... anything happens that is :rolleyes:

[Kacky]

aaaah but who knows what Hoboken can do to judgement???

Well, they were in New Jersey! Maybe they joined the Mafia? :p

[killthekid]

no worries. white noise is going to be amazing. trust me

[Kacky]

Ahhh, my heart is a flutter.

[Sarah]

haha, looks like you Sydney kids will be fighting me for tix tomorrow afternoon after all :D

[May]

Someone's leaving on a jetplane? :)

[billygal]

Someone's leaving on a jetplane? :)

Where you going :P

[Anfony]

haha, looks like you Sydney kids will be fighting me for tix tomorrow afternoon after all :D
Why? Because you're buying 200 tickets? :p

I'll be straight onto getting my tickets as soon as they become available tomorrow:D

[Burner]

I wish it wasn't on a thursday. I've missed so much shit because it has been on weeknights. Really don't see the point of 18+ gigs on weeknights.

[Jessii]

I wonder if it's not realistic to hope that they will be in Perth at some point this year...

[Sarah]

Someone's leaving on a jetplane? :)

Where you going :P

Sydney. If I can get me a ticket.

Why? Because you're buying 200 tickets? :p

I'll be straight onto getting my tickets as soon as they become available tomorrow:D

nope, cos if i get one theres only going to be 199 for you Sydney people

I wish it wasn't on a thursday. I've missed so much shit because it has been on weeknights. Really don't see the point of 18+ gigs on weeknights.

because big kids can stay up later then little kids and not get in trouble from mummy and daddy for missing school the next day. Big kids have sick days (or in my case an RDO)

I wonder if it's not realistic to hope that they will be in Perth at some point this year...

Honestly I don't think that is unrealistic. I think it is even realistic to hope that they'll be back to Tassie this year. (unless they leave a big arse tour til the summer...)

[E.B.]

Sydney. If I can get me a ticket.



nope, cos if i get one theres only going to be 199 for you Sydney people

Well, here's hoping, you don't get a ticket then



hahaha, just joking, your welcome up in Sydney, as long as i can get a ticket, if not, there will be trouble

[Sarah]

haha, thanks.

I wonder how many people are on the mailing list, and how many of them are in the Sydney area...?

[Burner]

because big kids can stay up later then little kids and not get in trouble from mummy and daddy for missing school the next day. Big kids have sick days (or in my case an RDO)



Wow you're my hero having a day of like that. I don't get to take and days off. And its not like Sydney it just down the road.

[Sarah]

for having an RDO? and yeah, it sucks living away from all the action some times

[Burner]

I don't have RDO's.

[E.B.]

Well I gotta wake up at 6:30 the next day, so it looks like i'm not gonna be getting much sleep (provided I actually get tickets)

[Colezy]

It'd be worth it though!

Just pull an all nighter! :p

[E.B.]

OK

I'm gonna be on my first overseas trip from Jan - March 09, so with my luck it will be a big arse tour then!

[Colezy]

That'd suck so much!!

But where are you going? Sounds like a decent trip - three months! :D

[Jessii]

Well remember i have the living end curse.. something bad happens at each gig haha! Have to go to Phuket for Pauls dads wedding, then visiting his mum who is living in Vietnam, then visiting a friend whose living in Bangkok, then going to London cause Pauls obssessed with Kate Moss, and i have a friend in Belguim so we plan to catch the rail from London to Belguim. I've never been out of australia so i can't turn down this chance, but i would be pretty pissed off if that's when they come to Perth!

[Anfony]

Got my tickets! hit the refresh button about 20 times before they became available :D

[MissyA]

Got mine for Sydney gig.

Elyse got one and so did James. Old boardies unite :)

[b_urself]

got 2 tickets for the sydney gig and my friend got 5... woooo should be fantastic!

[E.B.]

Got mine as well
those sure went quickly

[strahanie]

WOOT, will be my first Sydney gig :D

how excited.....

[Aaron]

Sweet :D

I missed out, but two of my friends each bought me one, hahaha. So I guess now my girlfriend can come too :p

[Fritz]

I'll be there

[E.B.]

Umm did anyone else get a confirmation email or something?
I got a confirmation screen on their website, but just wanna make sure

[Colezy]

Congrats guys! :D



Lucky buggers :p

[Jessii]

I agree with Colezy.

[strahanie]

I only got paypal email, i guess we will get the oxtix email later

[E.B.]

Ok sweet then
thanks alot

[Aaron]

There is now a thread about this in the gigs section (http://www.thelivingend.com.au/vBforum/showthread.php?t=1746).

Woohoo, Triple J tomorrow :D.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

^Fuck you, someone ban them or something!:mad:

[wizard_23]

AGREED!!! Can a mod kill them??? or just ban them... i guess that'll have to do for now.

[Habibster]

reporting their posts helps

[Deadcat Kaye]

WHITE NOISE WAS ON THE RADIO!!

I thought only Nova in Sydney played it..

I swtiched Radio channels over simply coz Triple J were playing all the playlists i'ld already listen to during the week..

10 minutes later White Noise comes on Nova :D

My Review is that it's definantly single worthy!
Hard to describe when alot of people still haven't heard it but it sounds fuckin wicked
The Lyrics are fair impressive...Chris as aced the songs lyric wise so far! :D

AAAHHH
SO GOOD

[Jonnno]

Yeah I thought the lyrics were awesome, they really came up with a great melody. Only thing is it bears some resemblance to hey hey disbeliever i think...

[_jimmy_]

Yeah,I heard it on Nova this morning too!

Mmmm...what a way to start the day! :D

[Caity]

Haha I was asleep and woke up all of a sudden and I'm lying there trying to work out why when I realised it was on - I had Nova streaming through my laptop.
I like it.

[Colezy]

This has to be the one and only time when I have ever wanted a nova station in Hobart :p

I've tried tuning in on the web, but got so sick of the other crap being played.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I've had Nova on all day in hopes of wlaking into my room and t being on again...

Instead I've heard 3 times (and counting) from cover of Beat It

[Craigels]

I haven't heard White Noise yet :( i'll be listening to nova a lot now, or just wait until the single comes out.

[Kev]

When it comes on nova, jump on the website and it will tell you when they're gonna play it again.

[Burner]

I don't get nova, just the local trash station here and i haven't heard it yet.

[Craigels]

ok thanks :)

[Kacky]

Listen online then? :p

[Absolution]

Gah, haven't heard White Noise yet either.

Been listening to Triple J and they've had HDWK on a few times so far- great to hear the guys getting alot of air time.

[_jimmy_]

the chorus for white noise is stuck in my head

"all that i'm hearing from you...is white noise (white noise) white noise (white noise)"

:p

[##thelivingendfan##]

it was just on Nova again...

i love it!

[Colezy]

And its on again at 9.07 tonight, for those who missed it :)

[Neo]

phew :)

[_jimmy_]

9:07 on Nova?

aren't there different nova stations for each state or something?

[Sabbz]

Is that Melbourne time, or Sydney? I keep missing it so hopefully I catch it this time.

[Colezy]

I think I had the sydney website open.

[Anfony]

Seems as though it gets played roughly every 2 and a half hours...which is good :D

[Craigels]

I finally heard it today, I turned the radio on to nova and i heard little snipits of their songs then they had part of the interview with Prisoner in the background then White Noise came on!!!! I really like it, catchy and different. Also i heard HDWK on JJJ again.

[_jimmy_]

Good Ain't It?! :d

[Craigels]

Good? It's GREAT!!!

[Self-Titled]

Is there anywhere I can listen to the single here in England? Do the radio stations have online 'listen again' where I could skip to the right time to listen?

I want to hear this!
