Roker are a four-piece band from Sunderland, who credit the inspiration for their unique blend of ska-jazz-funk fusion to musical sources as diverse as Enya, Bjork, U2 and The Sex Pistols.
Cure for Curiosity sees the band move away from the heavy beat that their growing fanbase may be more familiar with, making way for an adventurous foray into more melodious synthopop. The gritty vocals seem at odds with the synthesised harmonics, but the suprise appearance of Jean Michel Jarre on the electro-harmonix halfway through the track brings a spine-tingling ambience that will bring you out in goosebumps. This track was awarded 3.7 stars by our review panel, and will be released on a limited edition download only basis at the end of the month.
I had not seen this on the interwebz before, and it really was fun! I used Photoshop for the first time (my partner has it for digital scrapbooking) so I learned a lot about that and also about Euryclides de Jesus Zerbini (Who doesn't already know enough about Chinese proverbs?). Thanks so much for running this contest (and for the shot at winning premium). So, without further ado...
Euryclides de Jesus Zerbini demonstrates surgical precision in the album "Perfected Without Trials." Released postmortem, from private recordings, the deep Brazilian beats will get your heart racing.

Important Tournament Notice
The data for ALL of my tournaments has potentially been lost. I am working to recover it but as I am away on business all of this week, there will be some delay. Sincere apologies.
Nibiru brings us a sad and somewhat melancholic out look at the world we live in today. Hate Our Allies will not make many appearances in clubs and pubs, but is perfect for that period of quiet contemplation you have always promised yourself.
Alright, it's been long enough I suppose. Wasn't as much traffic as I had hoped, especially among the freemiums, but that's ok. Good luck to all that entered, next phase coming shortly.
Alright, here it is. Looks like radiojake wins the premium contest, with a guess only 12 away from the winning number. Cubfanpgh wins the freemium contest. Congrats to both. PMs coming your way.
For your info, here is my table with everyone's guesses and their distance from the winning number.
