Lost Embers specialises in a thoughtful brand of lo-fi pop-folk. Characterised by mature and cultured song writing, the Wales based artist is now gearing up for the release of new single 'There's Only Love', and it’s a fine introduction for the uninitiated.

Any new fans this single wins over will find themselves in good company, with Lost Embers counting a number of top music industry names and tastemakers among his fans. JD Fortune (former lead singer of INXS), Shane Lynch (Boyzone) and producer Danny Saber (Michael Hutchence) all recommend the song writer, as do Wales Online Editor David Owens.

Stunnah, inspired by the growing movement of modern African music and passionate about lending his skills to his home continent embraced the budding Afro-Beat genre and coined the now flourishing African Neo-Soul movement. 

The track is fantastic introduction to Stunnah Gee, an amalgamation of all his musical inspiration and a perfect delineation of his style. Filmed in Nigeria and shot and directed by acclaimed videographer Mex, Stunnah Gee’s video for ‘Dengme’ incorporates both breath taking Nigerian scenery and the a glimpse into the wild lifestyle Stunnah embodies.

Ellesmere Port. Home of the Vauxhall Astra, oil refineries, and now of Oranj Son, one of the most exciting and talked-about bands to emerge from the North West of England in 2015.
 
Comprising Kieran Linford (guitar, vocals), Lew Yii (percussion), Brad Welch (bass) and Matt Linford (keys, guitar), their brand of infectious and hypnotic groove-laden rock brings to mind classic East and West Coast US Psychedelia, Northern European Electro and 80's Post Punk - influences they wear as proudly as Phil Daniels wears his parka.
 
 
Music is about to get interesting again....
Kireran Linford, Vocals
 
"Working with Oranj Son on their debut single, has been a wonderful creative journey."

Alpha Shallows are an Indie Rock band from Leeds/Wakefield who formed in March 2014. This collective came together having all performed in a number of bands across different genres. Bassist Gary infuses a punk/synth feel whilst drummer Ben comes to the band from a metal background, performing with the Boneyard Babies. Vocalist Ken and guitarist Joicey have enjoyed a very productive songwriting partnership for several years.
 
The band's diverse list of influences have led their music down a dark and gritty path. The intriguing vocals of storyteller Ken combined with the band's strong image enhance the atmosphere created by their music and these elements have combined to produce a superb debut EP 'Set the Fires', recorded at Greenmount Studios with Jamie Lockhart.
 
Since their inception Alpha Shallows have enjoyed extensive support. They've been invited to play gigs across their home county of Yorkshire, including the highly respected Long Division Festival in Wakefield (2014). Photographer Ed Fielding, who has previously worked closely with Paloma Faith and Gary Numan, has provided the photographs and artwork for the EP. Three of the tracks on 'Set the Fires' have already been championed by BBC Introducing in North and West Yorkshire and the full EP is available to stream on Soundcloud.

Ships Have Sailed
Moodswings 
22 January 2016
Lead Tracks: 'If Only', 'Drive', 'Boomerang' and 'Out of Time'

Ships Have Sailed, an alternative pop-rock duo hailing from Los Angeles, debuted their first EP 'Someday' in 2014, gaining extensive airplay on College, NPR, and commercial radio in the US and Canada. The EP's success inspired the band to tour the East Coast, during which time they began piecing together their first full-length album, 'Moodswings'.              

The LP veers away from todays single-driven musical climate with a well-rounded, full-length story intended to be heard from the beginning to the end. The theme of the record echoes the bands name, a positive spin on the phrase That ship has sailed, and meditates on changes ability to impact ones life at any moment.  

Ships Have Sailed have recently had a track called 'Midnight' included in the feature film, BRAND: A Second Coming. This summer has also seen them playing showcases at 2015s SXSW and Canadian Music Week.


" Electro Pop-Rock trio Ships Have Sailed may be your favorite new discovery... featuring a few of our favorite things: hard-hitting beats, angsty male vocals, and bubbling electronic flares.
BlackBook 

Complete with bombastic drums, an epic guitar solo, and just-rugged-enough vocals, it's a massive tune that'll have you keeping it on repeat.

BRIT -ROCK TRIO 'AVANT GARDE' ARRIVE WITH 'DON'T PUSH ME SISTER' SINGLE 
 
After initially bonding over their distaste for squeaky clean pop music – Avant Garde members Daz (Guitar/Vocals), Jay (Bass) and Jason (Drums) met and formed the band in their hometown of Dudley in the late-to-mid 00’s. They have successfully played hundreds of shows around the UK, and are building a dedicated cult following. 
 
November 2015, aided by Bradford based producer Mik Davis, AG are to unleash two brand new sounds into he world - single  ‘Don’t Push Me Sister’ and B-side ‘Down’ showcase the band at their most daring, successfully merging hard-rock psychedelia and slacker grunge in a stoner haze of chaos and raw melody.
 
‘Avant Garde are the ultimate garage band – they play like they just formed, it’s raw, untamed and unpredictable.  Single Don’t Push Me Sister has a hit-you-in-the-face quality to it. It conjures up memories of the first time I heard Steppenwolf, Black Sabbath, BRMC and yet has an originality all of its own. Generously drenched in reverb and distortion – it’s a powerful single that shakes, grooves and hisses.’ Mik Davis – Producer

Artiste : Boots For Dancing
Release - The Undisco Kidds
Format: Double Album/CD/Download
 

Born at Scotland's post-Punk crossroads in 1979, Boots For Dancing kicked down the boundary walls of a played-out scene and introduced the UK to a more funky way of doing Punk. Hugely popular as a live act, often wiping the floor with the bands they were supporting (U2 and Talking Heads were two of their early supports), Boots was something genuinely ahead of the epoch's curve and played an important part in the vanguard of the burgeoning Post Punk and Punk-Funk movements. Sadly, Boots For Dancing's light shone brightly but briefly. Though the band had connections with, and cross-pollinations between, better-known acts such as The Rezillos, The Human League and Josef K.


Their boundless energy and undeniable talent never proved quite enough for great success. Great songs, even bolstered with good looks, are no guarantee of success in the fickle music business. Ultimately, business got in their way and the group disbanded in 1982 with just a few single releases in its canon, though a wealth of potential hits had been put to tape. Athens of the North is proud to present the band's 1982 album-that-never-was - an album that surely would have made them. It still sounds as fresh as it was when recorded.


The holy grail lost Scottish post punk LP - Extensive Sleeve Notes by Music and Theatre writer Neil Cooper


Additional Sleeve notes by Jo Callis (Boots for Dancing/Human League /Rezillos) and Mark Hagen (BBC Radio)


Le Grind have been a dancefloor fave, since debut single 'I Was There (Where Were You) became an underground hit, which also lead to the likes of KDA, Jodie Harsh andAndi Durrant all wanting to remix them.MTV even said it was 'Quite possibly the most flamboyant dance song the world has ever heard !'. 

Pillow Talk is a throbbing electronic funk/pop workout, that tells the familiar story of that boy who promises you everything, until he dips his wick and slips out quick! :-)



Mr. Gray also known as GRAZYGRAY is a old man who lives in DDR, Berlin, Germany. He hasn't watched the news lately or went outside. He is perfectly happy staying inside with his wife listening to his old vinyls like The Beach Boys, The Monkees, The Kinks etc. He has been honing his song-writing skills for decades and now he's ready to show them to the world. His first single is 'Do You Still Love Me (When I'm 70)'. It's a feel-good retro-futuristic pop gem that gives you summery feeling even in autumn time. Release date for the single is 23th of November, 2015. Available in all major digit



Reminiscent of Odelay era-Beck and Morning Glory era-Oasis with allusions to 90s hip hop and EDM, 'New Wave' is the ambitious debut single from Irish born and London based solo artist and producer Niall James Holohan; the perfect introduction to an experimental musician with a lot on this mind.

Man Made Time who are based in Los Angeles, USA.   

 

Having met through mutual friends, Hillary and Albert realised they had similar musical and life influences which later went on to become their collaboration idea, Man Made Time.
After a few experimental jam sessions in the parking lot of a coffee shop, the duo decided to take their ideas into the studio, the outcome being their debut EP Time Stands Still.  
Quoted as having a commercial yet unique feel drawn from their inspirational backgrounds of 80's and 90's Pop, Rock and tribal influences, you can find out more information on Man Made Time on their website www.facebook.com/manmadetime or you can follow them on Twitter at www.twitter.com/manmadetime

Mark Anthony and on
Saturday, 14th November 2015; we will be announcing that Mark's
forthcoming single 'An 80's Vibe', will be available for pre-order,
ahead of the track's official release date of Monday, 21st December
2015.

Mark Anthony

RELEASED: 11th DECEMBER 2015

The Beat Corporation are Manchester duo Jody Spence and Tyler Daly. They came together to create music with no limitations and to share a common goal, to make music with no boundaries. 2014 saw The Beat Corporation have releases on legendary dance label Champion Records (Robin S, Faithless) and they have now teamed up with Supersonic Media to present their “Slaving For The System” EP.


The EP kicks off with the title track “Slaving For The System”, a melodic house meets electro funk tune with a bass cab-busting groove that you want to hear over and over again. This is followed by the piano meets tech house banger “Got That Thing” which is sure to mashup dancefloors globally and is already receiving great early support from the guys at Kiss. “No Pressure” is the third track on the EP and is a soulful tech house tune with a fat techno bassline. “DJ Dealer” rounds up the package with its driving electro/bass that evokes thoughts of Green Velvet producing Mutant Disco.

After a busy summer, and a string of Festivals including Acoustic Festival of Britain, LFest and the Grand Southern Ukulele Festival, ViX & her MsChiefs head back into the studio to record their new EP ‘Music & Mischief’. The new 4 track EP penned by ViX, has been funded by an extremely successful Pledge Music Campaign, with fans pre-ordering the EP, buying signed goodies, and even songwriting sessions with the lady herself up for grabs! Staying true to their original influences ‘Music & MsChief’ will certainly not disappoint loyal fans and pledgers, with elements of Americana, Country and Rockabilly, and with the help of guest musicians Kate Porter on Drums, and Megan Burke on Electric Guitar the latest material is sure to appeal to an even wider bunch of music lovers!

 

Ahead of the new EP the girls will be releasing the single ‘Fame Is Your Driver’ from their debut EP ‘Live at Magic Garden’. The track is a satirical send-up of reality TV culture and having your 15 minutes of fame! The video for the track is available to watch on YouTube, with the single set to be released in Autumn 2015.

 

ViX & her MsChiefs are available for live shows as a 3-piece:

ViX: Vocals and Ukulele

Mimi: Guitar, Cajon and Backing Vocals

Hayley: U-Bass and Backing Vocals

 

For bigger events - and even more MsChief - the band can be booked as a 5-piece, with the addition of Electric Guitar and Drums.

 

For the remainder of the year Vix & her MsChiefs will be busy preparing for their fabulous Christmas shows, including Sarehole Mill and a very special ‘Merry MsChiefmas Xmas Bash’ at Katie Fitzgerald’s in Stourbridge, where the girls will be joined by Violinist Nemi!

If you have picked up The Metro, The Sun or The Daily Star you might have already come across Skyler. 

Teen pop darling Skyler has joined hip hop legend Snoop Dogg for her debut offering ‘Fire’. At the tender age of 16, Skyler is crafting dynamic pop hits way beyond her years inspired by the likes of BeyoncĂ© and Christina Aguilera and bands The 1975, All Time Low and Blink-182. Her first collaboration with Snoop Dogg sets the bar pretty high and she is perfectly at ease with the prospect of stardom.

Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn8MfeoiTKE

 
Hailing from Los Angeles, California and with firm routes in sunny Bournemouth, England, Skyler has got what it takes to break markets in both the US and the UK. The new single ‘Fire’ is her way of making an impact on the world and lighting up people’s lives. As well as being a burgeoning pop star, Skyler loves helping animals and frequently volunteers at animal rescue centres.
 
On top of a yearning passion for music Skyler is obsessed with everyone’s favourite Antarctic inhabitant, The Penguin. Aside from a fierce passion for these furry flightless birds, Skyler enjoys the exciting world of British football and is a staunch supporter of Arsenal Football Club, waking up in the early hours of the morning to watch her favourite team play.
 
Skyler is lyrically articulate, vocally stunning and musically in tune and is on her way to cement herself as a lasting pop act.
 
‘Fire’ featuring Snoop Dogg is out January 29th

WATCH HERE:http://youtu.be/9se19xb5LE0

 

Anthemic LA band Symmetry are set to release their second single Fast Lane taken from their forth coming debut album The Cure

 

The past 6 months have been absolutely massive for the Symmetry lads. Since landing on our shores in January, they have toured none stop, with the likes of Room 94James Arthur & McBusted (Arena tour), plus headed out on their own headline tour which saw shows sell out in both London and Newcastle.

Receiving support from the likes of BBC’s Ouch, BBC Newsround, BBC News, SUBTV, even hosting their own monthly show on Wizard Radio, the love for these LA lads is constantly growing.

 

After heading back over to the states in June the guys went straight back into the studio to start work on their new album. Featuring previous singles The Cure & Hey, the upcoming album is a fast pace rock collection that is bound to get your blood pumping.

 

Symmetry’s vibrant sound is attributed to the phenomenal musicians that make up the LA collective. Blind guitarist Jared Hara is an astonishing player and all who see him are amazed at his natural ability and exceptional sound, add this to the ultra-tight “bottom end” of drummer Max and bassist Will shows the band to be one of the best imports to the UK scene in many years. Symmetry are completed by charismatic vocalist Mike. Handling arena stages shows, Mike is a front man with the ability to enthral crowds of any and every size.

 

In support of their new single Fast Lane, the boys are returning to the UK to support Don Broco.

 You Wanted” is the debut single from British/American musician Kill Freeman.    The haunting vocals depicts how the desire and unity between two people ultimately turns to a violent expulsion of something poisonous within.  With a minimalist self made video backed by Dave Lichtenstein, son of renowned artist Roy Lichtenstein, Kill Freeman worked with Polish visual artist Dorota Stanczyk in the Lichtenstein studio 25th Street Recording California to complete the piece. 

 
The song, You Wanted, had only previously been released in Japan after finding notoriety on a popular movie-making iOS application in the region. Subsequently, Kill Freeman toured the country last year, after finding a fanbase there from the fan made youtube videos produced using his music. 
 
Alongside the radio edit there are two brilliant chill out remixes courtesy of Bungalo and Electronica ambient producer Kuba 
 
 
About Kill Freeman. 
Kill Freeman is a British/American musician based in London, England.
 
Freeman suffered a loss of hearing at an early age. After three operations he regained 87% of his hearing but needed to attend speech therapy to relearn pronunciation but lost his American accent. This gave Freeman a life-long dedication to music and sound.
 
Kill Freeman's unique appreciation of music and approach to sounds lets itself to highly intense live performances and different ways of approaching music.
 
Backed by Dave Lichtenstein, son of renowned artist Roy Lichtenstein, Kill Freeman worked with Polish visual artist Dorota Stanczyk in the Lichtenstein studio 25th Street Recording California to complete the piece. 
 
Released: 20th November

The chart-topping trio, Stooshe unveil their highly anticipated new single

After a two year hiatus working on new material, the girl group from South London are back with their new single ‘Lock Down’  - released on December 11th 2015.

 

LOVE ME ft. Travie McCoy

‘’A breath of fresh air that, in many ways, echoes the cheeky nature of the Spice Girls and the sassy vocals of En Vogue - and the industry couldn't need it more’’ Digital Spy

SLIP

‘’The ladies have unveiled the video for the Motown inspired track, and we have to say, it is pretty darn good’’ Huffington Post

 

BLACK HEART

‘’Stooshe’s rise to fame continued tonight as the three-piece took to the stage on The Jonathan Ross Show, where they wowed the audience with a rendition of Black Heart’’. The Metro

“Happy to hear Stooshe are back, and this single showcases their unique vibe!”

Austin Daboh Music Manager BBC Radio 1Xtra

 

 

The new single, released on 11thDecember 2015, will tell the story of the journey Stooshe have been on following their three top ten hits

Mobo and Brit nominations and UK/ European tours supporting two global superstars, Nicki Minaj and Jennifer Lopez. 

Produced by Detonate (Labrinth/Connor Maynard) and Executively produced by Troy Antunes whose collaborations include Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ciara and NSYNC alongside a video directed and produced by Damien Sandoval, whose credits include The Game, Jeremih and Pia Mia, Stooshe’s entry back into the charts is going to be one to watch. 

The video shot in the UK and LA also includes a cameo from US heartthrob America’s Next Top Model and Guess model Dom Benjamin.

Inspired by Destiny’s Child and SWV the chart topping trio’s new single showcases their evolution of sound and style. From the animated characters that propelled them into the critically acclaimed girl group to now, wiser and in the driving seat.

 



Kyle Lettman is taking it back to the R&B sounds we know and LOVE with the bouncy Reggae infused brand new track “Crush”. Taken from his up coming EP 'Under Construction' out on November 27th, the smooth singer shows off his passion for both singing and song writing for this hot under the collar, sexy single.

Kyle’s ability to blend and fuse sounds such as Garage, Reggae and R&B keeps him fresh and unlike any other singer in the UK, and is why the top tastemakers such as i-D, Soul Cul-ture, BBC Radio 1Xtra and many more have jumped on board to support him since the be-ginning of his solo career. Since dropping 'Crush', Vents Mag, Mixtape Madness, Underground Culture and Colorising have all been backing the RnB star! 

‘Under Construction’ will show Kyle at his best and doing what he loves, pure, undiluted R&B straight from the heart with no attempts to make it commercial – just straight realness. The EP takes you on a journey with some R&B club bangers and then stripping it back on some slower tracks that showcase his amazing talent and versatility as an artist. 

Have a great weekend and email nina@tenletterco.uk for all interviews and enquiries.

NEW SINGLE ‘SUBURBAN SEX DUNGEON’ AND NOV UK TOUR
 
“What goes on behind closed doors
It’s both frightening and exciting
Sordid secrets of suburbia are hiding
Down in the dungeon”

“(the album) fizzes with energy, ideas and focused rage”     Q
 
“There’s a surging power to their riffs and a soaring anthemic quality to their songwriting … Suburban Sex Dungeon is a shocking peek behind the curtain”     The Sun
 
Vocalist Tom Rowlett explained: “I'm really influenced by The Kinks and the lyrics of Ray Davies the way he could write a little short story about something strange and turn it into a brilliant piece of music, I wanted to do the same but give it a more modern and heavy feel”

Melodic metal band Eden's Curse smash 100k & premiere live music video - New studio album release in 2016

Watch 'Evil & Divine' (official live music video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjFHabyDy4s
 

"Eden's Curse belong with the best of today's music. Trust me, you're going to love this from beginning to end" - James LaBrie (Dream Theater)

"That's good stuff that is! Did you fall in love with that voice? I did" - Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)

Multinational melodic metal band Eden's Curse are close to completing the writing phase on their as-yet-untitled fifth studio album, which will be released Autumn 2016 by German label AFM Records.
 
The follow up to 2013's critically acclaimed 'Symphony Of Sin' album will once again see the band's long term mixing engineer Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Unisonic) behind the controls.
 
"With every new album we take a step forward and the fifth album is no different" declares bassist Paul Logue. "The band are very excited by the new song ideas and this record definitely has it's own personality with our most progressive collection of songs yet. As always, it's 100% Eden's Curse" he adds.
 
The studio recordings will be the first to feature the band's new drummer John Clelland (Code Of Silence, The Crows) and will include song titles such as 'Jericho', 'Find My Way', 'Rome's On Fire', 'This Is Our Moment' & 'Messiah Complex' to name but a few.
 
Eden's Curse are delighted to learn that the video for the lead single from the 'Symphony Of Sin' album 'Evil & Divine' has exceeded 100,000 plays on You Tube.
 
To celebrate the milestone the band's label AFM Records has released a live video of the song, recorded during the 'Live With The Curse' album recording show at The Classic Grand in Glasgow last year.


About Eden's Curse

Formed in 2006, multinational melodic metal band Eden's Curse have risen from their humble beginnings as an internet studio project to a fully blown touring outfit with four studio releases and a double live album behind them.

During their nine years together they have managed to win over audiences wherever they have played, whilst collecting praise from luminary peers such as legendary Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson and members of Prog Metal giants Dream Theater, who personally invited them to open for them on their UK tour.

Fronted by Serbian powerhouse vocalist Nikola Mijic and MelodicRock.com's 2013 Guitarist of the Year, German virtuoso, Thorsten Koehne, Eden's Curse also features founding member and principle songwriter Paul Logue on bass, drummer John Clelland (Code Of Silence) and esteemed keyboarder, the brain child of Power Quest and formerly Dragonforce, Steve Williams. With the 5 piece stronger than ever, Eden's Curse latest studio album 'Symphony Of Sin' has been another triumph for the band.
 
In May 2014 the band undertook their debut headline club tour of the UK in support of the album 'Symphony Of Sin'. Their seven date run culminated in a spectacular closing show at The Underworld in London; receiving praise from the press, media and fans alike.
 
The outstanding reviews prompted the bands label, AFM Records, to propose the recording of the groups debut live album, which was recorded in Glasgow to a full capacity audience. At over 100 mins, 18 songs, covering all four studio records and spanning two CD's, 'Live With The Curse' is the perfect introduction to the music of Eden's Curse. It's sonic dynamite production, by the bands long time engineer, Pink Cream 69 and Unisonic bassist, Dennis Ward (Ten, Allen/Lande, Angra, Krokus) and iconic artwork by Thomas Ewerhard (Avantasia, Edguy, Jorn) demonstrate the high quality output we've come to expect from Eden's Curse.

Whilst 2015 has seen Eden's Curse locked away in the studio for pre-production of their yet to be titled fifth album, the band have found time to tour Germany and Holland (with special guests Freedom Call) and appear at Väsby Rock Festival (Sweden) in July. Previously Eden's Curse have toured with Dream Theater, Stratovarious, Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Gus G's band Firewind and Alestorm, plus appearanced at major rock festivals such as Bloodstock Open Air (UK), Hard Rock Hell (UK), Firefest (UK), PPM Fest (BE), Road To Rock (BE), Dokk'em Open Air (NL) and Melodic Rock Fest (US).
