“Siren” received four hearts in Black Velvet‘s review in issue 67. Siren is described as “highly reflective of a band that doesn’t take itself too seriously yet can still pack an enjoyable punch.” Apart from the review of “Siren” issue 67 has articles on Sum 41 Piggy D (Rob Zombie) and Bowling for Soup amongst many others. Black Velvet, an excellent independent rock magazine produced in the Midlands, is available quarterly.

Siren, by the Love Commandos, presents a band with a unique sound and a lot of maturity. The music and musicianship are professional, and Love Commandos know how to write great songs and play them well.

Kiss this

Neil Horsburgh — Fri, 07 May 2010 08:40:46 +0000

I can confirm that Paul Stanley of Kiss has had a copy of the brand new album “Siren” for at least as long as it took him to leave the room we were both in. He did promise to listen to it but to be honest, I don’t mind. I am just extremely happy that Paul Stanley has, however possibly briefly, been the owner of an album that I have made – especially considering the number of recordings I own with Paul on them. Now, if I can just get a t-shirt to Jennifer Aniston….

Now with more words!

Lyrics for the final four songs on Siren have been added on the lyrics page. So now you can find out what it is that Neil is singing over the drums, guitars, bass and occasional keyboards. There’s even a little bit of German in the mix, though we admit that it may not be entirely grammatically accurate. We blame artistic license. Well, they shouldn’t have given us one if they didn’t want us to use it.

They have only gone and bleeding done it

Neil Horsburgh — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:05:50 +0000

I have seen it with my own eyes, held it in my own hands, listened to it with my own ears, sniffed it with my own nose and licked every single one with my own tongue. Yes, the Love Commandos album has finally arrived, now with added saliva.

The artwork has gone off!

Incredulity abounded as Ken finally announced that the CD artwork for “Siren” was finally completed and had gone off to Sound Recording Technology along with the outstanding paperwork. Questions were raised about whether it was rotten or had exploded or both (neither as it turns out). This is the last but one step in the pre-production process. Once we have approved the final art proofs (and paid the outstanding balance) the CD can be sent to the presses. Some time after we will take delivery of a thousand CDs.
It’s taken longer than we would have liked, but given the part-time nature of everyone involved it’s hardly surprising. Changing artwork direction several times didn’t really help, but we’re all happy with the final choices and we’ve preserved some of the original ideas.
Friday’s rehearsal was spent practising the new covers and remembering how to play some of the old ones including Marilyn Manson’s “Fight Song”. A new set list was mentioned as was arranging some gigs.
