December 2005 - New EP Demo Released

Scream Arena has recently completed it's first full demo, finishing as the rest of the world buried itself in Christmas.

Producing themselves at Glass Planet studios, the band has recorded three songs that demonstrate the diversity and breadth of approach;

• Alone is a brooding rocker which has seen some commentators draw comparison with artists such as Queensryche and Judas Priest.
  
  
• Crazed is pure metal...no prefixes, no ifs, no buts..but simply metal.
  
  
• Here's to you is straight melodic rocker with a wry lyrical approach".
  
  

"Alone" has already been playlisted on Overdrive Radio, and other radio stations around the world are following suit and we will keep you posted.

Subsequent to an an evening poring over blank pages and under employed pencils the general consensus agreed upon Scream Arena.

Look out for the new album by US band Snakeryder, Andy Paul having a songwriting credit on the song "Love Steals"

November 2005 - Acoustic !?

Taking time away from recording the forthcoming demo, vocalist Andy Paul could be spotted in a small club indulging in some acoustic nonsense. The set consisted of originals "Woman's Strength", "Rainmaker", "Summer" and to the utter bemusement of many present a version of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid".
