Strutter - review

Samantha Townsend gives the melodic poprocksound of X-HAIL a slight soul-touch with her soul/r&b typed melodic vocals. The music is very much based on the typical late 90s/early 00s female fronted melodic poprocksound which is promoted a lot on the radio these days. The 3 songs are titled "Hang onto your happiness", "Mississippi rainin': and "Can't keep a good soul down" and all three are nice melodic poprockers in 90s style (a la SASS JORDAN, ZIA LINDBERG). This X-HAIL is a must for fans of this kind of rock, because X-HAIL does it really good. Though I don't think AOR fans will find something of interest in this band, because therefore they sound too updated and radio orientated.

Hi, It's Samantha, the singer in X-Hail; here are a few things about myself. I live in Oxford and work full time at the Bodleian Library. I like to listen to bands like Stereophonics also to people like Macy Gray and Baby Face. I love to sing as you might have guessed it's something I've always wanted to do, and I'm doing it.The band are great and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I love to go to watch other bands that play in and around Oxford, there are some good bands out there (keep music live). Apart from music I love to spend lots of money on clothes and nights out clubbing with my friends. I also like to watch football but I can't play it. That's all about me, short .
