But, of course, since you read our last issue (right?) you knew that already. In 2011 they released their comeback nine track album <em>Roundabout<\/em>. You can order the physical disc and have it shipped from the UK or grab the digital version from iTunes or Amazon. I went for the Amazon version \u2013 but I think some smart US label (Retroactive\u2026 hello?) should jump on releasing this disc here (along with their back catalog). <em>Roundabout<\/em> is a great slab of 1980\u2019s influenced alternative rock with punk and new wave overtones. \u201cSet Me Free\u201d starts off with a great mid-paced alternative groove with a cry to God for freedom. \u201cBurning Ambition\u201d kicks in a more aggressive song with snarling guitars. \u201cBlind Pride (Hey Mr Jones)\u201d is a slower number that works well as a lament. \u201cYour Love\u201d is just catchy and fun to listen to. Fans of music from the 80s will find many sounds to like here. Bands like this keep going or call it a day based on fan support \u2013 so grab this album and let them know you want there to be new albums by the Preds in the future.<\/p>\n[2011 Independent | Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/thepreds.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">thepreds.eu<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Predators are back!
