This is beyond a joke, they're deafening. it seems to come mostly from the front.
What can i do to rectify this?

Jack it up and check to see if the wheels spin freely.
Sounds like it may be a sticky caliper

If the wheel spins freely Whip the wheel off and check the pads if they're ok whip em out and put some copper grease on the rear face of the pad then refit and marvel at your job well done.

might as well change the pads while they're out...
don't forget the grease though (ON THE BACK OF THE PAD!!)
