Roundelay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A roundelay is a poetic and songwriting form characterized by the last line of the couplet or verse carrying a refrain.
The term originates from late middle English: from Old French rondelet, from rondel. The change in ending was due to association with the final syllable of virelay.
Roundelay are a post big bang rock band from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Formed in high school (2000), the boys started jamming Rage Against the Machine covers, and over time, moulded the band that exists today with their sound crafted from blood, sweat, and lollipops, resembling some of their influences (i.e. the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Appleseed Cast, the Mars Volta). Roundelay are Mike Lahey, Chris Ryan, Brad Nichols, and Joe Tucker. The title of their debut release, "Riddled with Flaws"(recorded may 2003, produced by leo bruce), as well as their e.p., "Subpar"(recorded throughout 2005, produced by roundelay themselves), conveyed the modest attitude of the band. Their next full length album, self titled(recorded aug 2006, produced by jeremy kiehl), is slated to be released in early 2007. -
