LostAlone ex Steven Battelle offers download of solo debut

Former LostAlone frontman Steven Battelle has offered a free download of debut solo track The Jump.

Hear it below – and download it for free via his website.

He’s concentrating on his own career after LostAlone split in 2014, following the launch of three albums. His first one-man record, Exit Brain Left, will be launched later this year.

Battelle says of the track: “The Jump is the first song I wrote for the record, right at the beginning of my travels. The foreboding literal narrative of the lyric feels like an introduction to all that will transpire on the rest of the record.

“The Jump is about reconciling the voice in my head telling me to take that leap of faith, knowing everything will change once the metaphorical leap occurs.”

He’s planning a tour to tie in with the release.

LostAlone: The Final Interview

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
