Unfortunately the band did not get through into the XFM Rockschool shortlist. The competition from the other bands was very tight, and the sound of Scythia's demo on the Rockschool site was distorted due to a technical glitch so the band were at a disadvantage. Scythia wish good luck to all the bands on the shortlist, and promise more great original material, to be featured on the album, at all upcoming gigs.
Update - 25/11/07
The gig yesterday went brilliantly for the band, featuring an impromtu,
unrehearsed, version of Queen classic "We Will Rock You" in
tribute to the late, great, Freddie Mercury, who died 16 years ago to
the day, and the debut of Scythia's epic new original track "Fear
Of The Night", which you can view on YouTube
and right here!
"Supersonic" has been featured on an XFM Rockschool promotional advert, so listen out to XFM 97.7FM for that! Unfortunately, Scythia have not yet been shortlisted in the competition, but there are still 4 places remaining, so listen out to Jason Manford's breakfast show, and check back here for news!
