LONG AWAITED SECOND ALBUM – ‘I BELIEVE IN YOU’

Symptom’s second album, recorded in 1998, was planned for release in 1999. Unfortunately, in 1999 the band broke-up and the album remained un-released for 10 years until 2008, when it was released on a small independent label (HTT Records). Throughout 1998 and early 1999, and just before their split, Symptom gigged the UK promoting their first album. They were voted “Best of the New” by NME at end of 1998 and chosen to headline the start of the NME Carling Premier Tour during 12th–20th January 1999. Unfortunately, soon after the tour Symptom broke-up and the album was shelved and never released. Only two songs from the second album were released as special limited edition singles for fans and promos for radio play: “I Believe in You” in 1999 and “It’s Raining (Down on Me)” in 2000.

“Robert Plant…[with]…Simple Minds” – Mark Beaumont (6 Feb 99) NME
“Just received an advance copy of “I Believe in You”. I can’t stop playing it! It’s gut-wrenchingly beautiful…his voice is for real! Moodier than the Verve…more passion than Pearl Jam. Who the hell are SYMPTOM? In my book, with this single alone, they can f***ing rule the world” – JJ Brenner (Jan-Feb 99) JAMMARAMMA ZINE
“‘It’s Raining’…Roman Kozlowski possesses the gift…to write killer tunes…anthemic…atmospheric…the sort of voice to kill for” – Andrea Thorn (Apr 2000) MAKING MUSIC
