Swelling of music notes not painful lumps...

I found Swell whilst listening to one of my favourite new bands Spit Shake Sisters ( soon to feature ). Swell is the moniker of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John Biggs, hailing from Leeds now living in Brighton (as stated on their Facebook page). This particular song embraces the summer sun, full of ticklish melodies dancing around the delightful sound of the ukulele. John is joined by his friends that make up Swell, one of them being Harrison Blair Davis from Spit shake sisters. I like the fact that there is no set line up and at any point John could be joined by a different set of musicians that could bring a range of different influences to his already evolving sound.

Ambassadors of Sound..

I have had the privilege of playing with X AMBASSADORS when they came over from Brooklyn NYC for a European tour. We played to a packed Camden Barfly and they were on after us. Ive never felt so insecure about my own bands set after watching them perform this song. Heart felt melodies drive the song, a strong rhythm section and chilling chords played from the ivories. They had energy, presence and were spellbinding to watch. The other thing that astonished me was that they didn't have a label plugging money into them, it was all self funded desire to get their music heard across the atlantic. I for one am looking forward to when they next make the trip but for now ill let you swim amongst the fascinating sounds of X AMBASSADORS. INDULGE

No offense intended..

Two Chicks playing lo fi punk ? FUCK YEAH !!. This Two piece from "Philli" have a sold out e.p but the last song on the record is called No offense. Its probably the most "hooky" of the 4 songs available but it sure has a feel good factor about it. I Would love to see them at a British festival as its the kind of song a British crowd would latch onto and sing to their hearts content. Smashing name as-well..  INDULGE

No Demons.. Just Something a little special...

Its a flying post today as i'm late for work but I saw lead singer Jonny Gavin play a solo show in London a month or so ago and was in awe of the guys voice.. it just makes you feel great and he totally carries it off live.. INDULGE

DEMONS OF RUBY MAE

I love you more when you're angry with me...

I really feel like I shouldn't love this band but I kinda do. I'm not sure what it is ? whether its the big riff/big drums thing, the drop before the chorus or just because its a little bit different but this song in particular just fucking rocks.. on another note, its the kind of thing my mother would say "why does he have to scream like that ?" or "Im not sure I like all this shouty shouty music.. "
