Music: Seth Sentry - This Was Tomorrow (2012)

If you know anything about this guy, then you know how long we've all waited for this album to come out. The short 5 track Waiter Minute EP released in 2008 is one of the best EPs I have in my collection. It still gets solid play in my house. So what took him so long, I hear you asking. Well, besides Seth being extremely Lazy (as you can see here) and an addictive gamer, he's pretty much a damn perfectionist!

Since getting the EP, I've had the extreme pleasure of seeing Seth live four or five times. You can see some of my crappy home videoing here: Waitress Song, Our Song w. Horrorshow. Having seen him so many times, I've had the pleasure of hearing some of these songs already; such as Campfire, My Scene and Room for Rent which has some amazing lines and a punchy sound. Material for the next single? I think so!

Float Away (above) gets stuck in my head really badly, almost as badly as Waitress Song and Train Catcher off the EP... on this album I can hear myself singing Room For Rent over and over and the hook to Ten Paces will be another one of those tunes that will never leave my brain again. The sweet croony tunes of Ali Barter (who I had to go and look up after hearing, found this!). Ali is the only real feature on this album, besides some back up vocals from Grey Ghost and Leon Thomas, but in saying that, the behind the scenes guys are some names you've probably heard before; Trials (Funkoars), Matik and Mantra.

I love Seth's laid back style of rapping, he makes it sound so effortless, but then I have to actually listen to his tracks to pick up some golden one liners such as "I see the Devil in a short skirt, hot as hell." - Ink Blot Test.  Also, the album art by Jagi is amazing!

This review pretty much wrote itself. So excited to have this album, glad it's doing so well! Try not to take as long for the next one, eh Seth? Ha! Buy it here!

I love everything about this EP!

I first heard Jeremedy on 3ree6ixty's (Facebook / Twitter) first album; What You See Is What You Get but I only really took notice when I heard his features on Mantra's album Speaking Volumes followed very closely by his Rappertag (which I thought was one of the best).

Amazing beats, catchy hooks, awesome flow, lyrically brilliant, fantastic hair-do; what doesn't this guy have?

Previous to the EPs release, Jeremedy was part of a band called The Melodics for about six years. I'm so annoyed that I've just discovered this band and now they are no longer playing shows. Damnit! I'm going to go hunt down their discography for my collection, keep an eye on this space, it may just pop up in my reviews.

Apparently this EP was made in under three months, production by Matik - whose name you might recognise, he tours with Seth Sentry (Facebook / Twitter) - and is that an accomplishment or what? This short, five track EP has been playing on repeat since I got my grubby little hands on it. Cannot get enough, can't wait for the mixtape / album / next EP / whatever Jeremedy decides to do next.

Brilliant! Go buy it!
