Hey gang, I got an e-mail from a friend who said he downloaded "Swallowed by the Sea" from a P2P. He sent it to me and it was actually "Burned by the Sun" by a band called Blue Merle.

 

If you havn't heard Blue Merle, the singer has flat out stolen Chris Martin's singing style, falsetto and all. My fiance and I once heard one of their songs on the radio in the car and she thought it was a new Coldplay song. They have a single called "If I Could" that isn't a bad song, but a flat out rip off of CP's style (well, mostly the vocals).

 

Anyway, keep an eye out for this bogus file, during these, ahem, exciting times.

Yeah that stupid file confused us a week or two ago already... :lol:

yes... "flat out STOLE" his voice...

"I reckon" he's from southern US :lol:

Yeah, they're from Nashville. Blue Merle, that is. I'm from Philly, and I've been lurking on these boards about five times a day for a few months.

 

I can't believe my first post was about Blue "Hack" Merle. :huh:

 

Keep up the good work gang.

:lol: gang? u make us sound like a mafia or somethin :P

 

well anyways welcome to the board and ty for the tip ;)

....i heard this group at a barnes & noble a few months back, and it was alarming to hear them...i immediately thought they were a side project that chris had secretly made.

I quite like them actually. I've only heard Burned by the Sun in full, but the clips on their website are pretty good.
