4 stars! Guitar Break's review of Sun Year Long
High Points – There a quite a few to savour on this album including the aforementioned Steal Your Heart Away and Hooker, however the stand out highlights for me are the tracks Restless Sea and Finding A Way Home. Restless Sea bought the album back to a more rock style after the slower paced You’re Sweet. The rough vocals, in this instance, really blended well with a harsh and forceful guitar sound. There was a nice use of backing vocals, which were not over done but effortlessly introduced providing a smooth contrast behind a tough exterior. In my opinion the track Finding A Way Home could easily be the next single with an echo sound to the guitar that wouldn’t feel out of place in any classic rock song from any era. It again takes the album on an up with a quicker pace to it than the previous 2 tracks and stands out on this album as there is no other track like it.
My band’s new record, Sun Year Long, came out today. Get it on iTunes: http://bit.ly/sunyearlong
Ruby - Splitting a string on multiple delimiters
Sometimes you have a string you want to split but the delimiters could be multiple, e.g. a newline, a comma, a semicolon. Using a regex in Ruby’s String#split function, we can split on multiple delimiters.
In the example below, we would like to split our test_string on a period, comma and semicolon.
» test_string = “xyz.123,457;abc”
» test_string.split(/,|\.|;/)
» [“xyz”, “123”, “457”, “abc”]
Gotta love regexes.
