Album Review: Steel Train - Steel Train

Along with Rx Bandits, Steel Train were the odd one’s out on the early to mid noughties Drive Thru roster. However like those damn Bandits (and the majority of other Drive Thru bands still active) they’ve jumped ship and struck out on their own, choosing to self release this, their third full length.

Musically, this is definitely Steel Train at their most polished and ambitious. No sooner have they kicked off with the stomping ‘Bullet’, all Tegan and Sara melodies and E-Street Band orchestration, than they immediately switch it up with the camp broadway-pop of ‘Turnpike Gates’.

Tegan & Sara, Scarlett Johansson, Amanda Palmer and More To Appear on All-Female Steel Train Album

The likes of Tegan & Sara, Scarlett Johansson, Amanda Palmer and more are included on an all-female Steel Train companion album, 'Terrible Thrills Vol. 1' which will be available via pre-orders and vinyl / deluxe packages at www.steeltrain.net on June 29th.

In addition, Steel Train release a self-titled album on June 29th through Terrible Thrills.

Interview: Seahorses!

With both members of Charlotte, North Carolina's Seahorses! being touring musicians for Steel Train (Justin Huey) and fun. (Emily Moore) for the majority of the year, the duo have still managed to record and self-release their first EP, 'Musical Beds Vol. I' as well play a handful of shows in the Charlotte area.

Just before playing a show overseas in London with fun., Emily sat down with Alter The Press to talk about how the band started, her background in music, the band's debut EP, performing onstage with Paramore and more.

Alter The Press: For anyone who doesn't know, who are Seahorses!?
Emily Moore: Seahorses! is just Justin (Huey) and I, just the two of us. We write and record everything ourselves. When we tour at some point, we'll have a touring band with us, which will be figured out later.

ATP: What made you want to start writing music?
Emily: It happened a long time ago. My dad is actually a blues musician in the US and I look up to him a lot, a lot of people in North Carolina do as well. He started showing me his music really early on, so I grew up around really fantastic music. I think early in middle school, I wanted to learn an instrument, and guitar was my first one, I picked it up and since then it's been my passion.
