A Muso's Top 10: Strike the Colours

Feature by Jenny Reeve | 01 Sep 2009

The next Strike The Colours album is called Seven Roads. I called it that because some of the songs seemed to take on a travelling theme, or be about belonging. We recorded it last summer in Chem 19 with Paul Savage but the songs are really autumn/winter songs because that's when we put the ideas together. I'm really happy with how it turned out, everyone involved worked hard and now we're looking forward to playing the songs live to people when we go on tour! Then I guess we start the next one...
