"A singer, composer and lyricist with an innately soulful vocal and an instinctive ability for story telling, Dani Sylvia makes for an enthralling listen”
 
London based singer/Songwriter Dani Sylvia releases her debut single “Free”, a beautifully constructed song with great hooks, melodies and vocals!   Taken from her EP “Monologues”.

After graduating from the Guildhall School of  Music and Drama, Dani has worked tirelessly on her songwriting and performing skills, which at only 25, has led her to perform with an array of artists at some of the UK’s more prestigious events including, Paloma Faith at The Proms, Labyrinth at the BAFTAS, Tom Jones at the BBC Music Awards; The Who,  Gary Barlow and Diversity on their UK tour. 

Dani has also just recently toured the UK with her 7 piece band supporting The Feeling, she also performed alongside the band at the O2 Arena last month where they supported ELO!    She also performs and writes for London based Urban Voices Collective which has led to appearances with Diversity on their TV show (as lead vocalist), The Olympics closing ceremony, Muse, The Proms etc.   She will also be performing gigs at The Bedford, Metropolis Studios, The Leeds Cancer Research Charity event and the upcoming Time Out Rising Starts show at 229.
     
Coupled with stunning soulful vocals Dani is a brilliant songwriter, with her story telling lyrics that tug at every known emotion, “Free" is a captivating taste of what to expect from her first album “Tall Tales”, planned for release later this year. 


“Free”  impact date:     24th June 2016  
“Monologues” EP available now on iTunes

The title track - State of Emergency is very much inspired by the present political situation in their native Sweden, as it closed it’s borders last autumn and declared state of emergency. The same goes for Sound of Guns, written after a gang related shooting killing eight people.
 
Matt Dee: State of Emergency is honest old skool punk-rock’n’roll, warts and all. I grew up with glam, pop and punk. This EP is a mix of all that music.

The Bronco was formed in 2010 but the band got roots all the way back to 1978 with Matt (Mats Drougge). As a 16 year old he started one of swedens most legendary punk bands Liket Lever (Living Corpses) with icon to be Freddie Wadling. They had both been in local group Straitjacket (also the breeding ground for the The Leathernun).

State of Emergency is available for streaming and download from Itunes/Spotify etc and as four track CD.

Release date: OUT NOW!

 
Sound of the Summer is the brand new single from Jamie Porter. A soundtrack taken straight out of a Florida Turnpike trip to Daytona Beach.
 
Following on from his early 2016 release Can’t Stop Loving You which made the main playlist on Nevis Radio and also received plays on K107 FM, Radio Tircoed, Get Ready to Rock, Starship Overflow, Colne Radio, Radio Woking, Sunday Alternative, Bishop FM, Sound Machine Radio, Irvine Beat, Wolfman Radio, BC FM, Riviera FM, Vixen 101, Dapper FM, Twisted Mixtape show, Canalside, Radio Alternative, Dunoon Rock Show, Tameside Radio and many more.
 
Jamie Porter has covered most of the UK in his quest to follow his love of music influences by the likes Gary Moore, Ritchie Sambora, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Crowes, Thunder, Dan Baird, The Eagles and many more and plays the following dates this year :
 
Friday March 11th- Rebellion Club ManchesterGuests of Blue Nation on Tour 
Saturday April 30th  NE Diversity Festival Connah’s Quay
Festival Opening Act Outdoor Stage
Saturday May 21st Llanrwst Rising, Llanrwst, Conwy.
 
“…reminded of Tom Petty, before it moved more towards being a potentially anthemic number” 
Rock Generation
 
“…superb heartfelt passion and sensational overall musicianship class” Forkster
 
2014 also saw Jamie look for musicians to take his songs out live.  Jamie was joined by experienced drummer/musician Geraint Vernon early in 2014 and rehearsals followed soon after.  They were joined by Jamie’s son Dan on bass and shortly after Paul Harrison on guitar and b/vocals.   A couple of short warmup shows were done by the band over 2014 at Conwy Beer Festival and Conwy’s Prom Xtra Festival in August.  Late 2014/ early 2015 has seen the band joined by a new bass player Darren Sidell and Dan has now moved over to keyboard duties.
 
2015 saw the release of a single called ‘Save Me’ which has had airplay on independent radio stations across the UK.  A number of live shows at local music festivals and charity events then followed over the course of the year with Jamie writing and recording material for a new album made up of songs already in the live set and brand new material. A new album is on the horizon this year and the continued development/promotion of the band in the live music scene throughout the UK and beyond.

 Sporting a fantastic hook and a bubbly electropop beat, the track has all the ingredients of a catchy pop song, made all the more engaging by its positive and life-affirming lyrics. Challan Carmichael is Fresh, Original and Inspiring.


‘I love good wholesome music and am very aware of how music can help you to motivate and uplift,’ explains the singer.  ‘In the current climate with so much negativity in the world it is very easy to be bombarded with negative images and messages continuously. Sometimes it is good to focus on the positive side and also positive messages so that we can remember it is not all doom and gloom.’

A devout Christian, Challan invited 10 local children from his church to sing on the track’s chorus. Ideals of humanity and philanthropy play a major part in his lyrics, themes that are applicable not just to his own faith but to people from all walks of life.

Challan takes influence from artists such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and Billy Ocean. As well as singing, he has long had a keen interest in dance, self-teaching himself as a child from watching Michael Jackson videos and streetdance. In 1988, he was lucky enough to get front row tickets to King of Pop’s BAD concert, a surprise gift from his au-pair.

Unafraid to challenge himself, Challan joined the Territorial army in his twenties, having a desire to push himself both physically and mentally. Around the same time he also got involved with artist tour management.

Having worked behind the scenes in the music industry for many years supporting artists such as KC Da Rookee and Ben from Phats and Smalls, Challan is now ready to carve a music career of his own.

The artist has worked with multiple producers including notable names such as Blaze Billions, Paul Nza, Lars Mellow and Klimper Boy. He is currently performing at schools across the UK as part of his Step by Step UK nationwide Schools Tour.

The Nottingham Post has described him as ‘Nottingham’s next MC Hammer’.

An album has been recorded in Germany and will be out soon.

On May 27th Alexis Kings will release their new single ‘Squire’ via iTunes and all major media providers. The song is from their soon-to-be released EP ‘Squire’, which was recorded in Lincoln at Chapel Studios, home to such records as Arctic Monkey’s ‘Whatever People Say I am, That’s What I’m Not’ and Catfish And The Bottlemen’s ‘The Balcony’.  The new EP was produced by Chris West, who helped produce Richard Ashcroft’s latest record ‘Keys To The World’. 
 
Squire is the follow-up to their highly successful single, and fan favourite ‘Sugar Darlin’, which the band debuted to a sell out crowed at Barfly during Camden Rocks Festival on March 27th. On the latest single, Alexis Kings have honed their own brand of melodic sound, by capturing the summer vibe and offering fans a selection of rhythmic and high-energy guitar hooks.
 
As proven throughout their career, Alexis Kings love to work. Whether writing, recording or touring the band are constantly in motion. The British four piece is expected to announce details for a nationwide tour across the UK later this year in support of the new record.
 
Fans will be expected to get their hands on Alexis Kings new EP from June 27th in the US and UK via Ditto Music and catch the band live throughout the UK later this summer. More information can be found on the band’s Facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/AlexisKingsMusic

Warren Attwell 

http://www.warrenattwell.com

http://www.twitter.com/wattwellmusic

Dreamsphere are alt-metal band originating from Ljubljana-Slovenia, formed by the youngest members, Condemnatio Cristi and Noctiferia in a wish to do write and produce catchy modern metal with elements of gothic rock, pop and melodic death. The band uses both classical and progressive techniques which results in extremely diverse and addictive soundscape. Their new album “The Darkest Experience” went on digital release April 29th with the track “No Fear” is the first single.
 


A singer-songwriter with a unique sound and outlook, Ronoc (aka Conor Dawson) is an artist who is currently enjoying a great level of independent success. His excellent recent single ‘Battling On’ peaked in the Amazon charts at number 91, while in the genre specific rock charts he rocketed all the way up to number three – right alongside no other than David Bowie.


 

This was a huge moment for Ronoc, not least because Bowie was of course a huge influence, and now he is looking to build on that success with a new single titled ‘No More’.


 

Often compared to the likes of Sting, Paul Weller, Phil Collins and even David Bowie himself, the range of artists different listeners conjure up gives an idea as to the range on offer from Ronoc. In truth his music is tough to classify - intricate pop-rock with a jazzy, singer-songwriter twist is arguably the best, succinct description.


 

Perhaps the best way to understand him is to listen to the track itself and make up your own mind. Regardless of genre, it’s a sleek, smart musical treat.


 

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/UZ-YH3rBCqk


 

Written from the heart, ‘No More’ is about working through a relationship that is struggling, and working to make it last. It’s about those familiar arguments we all have which, when we look back on them, serve nothing other than ego.

This raw, emotional approach to songwriting is typical of Ronoc and it’s why he has started to win new fans in huge numbers. He is building quickly on local support from his home county of Leicestershire, where he has featured on BBC introducing East Midlands, BBC Leicester, and local radio stations Oak FM and Hermitage FM. Local papers such as Leicester mercury, Loughborough Echo, Leicestershire guardian and various smaller local magazines have also dedicated columns to him, especially after a crowd pleasing set at the Loughborough Christmas lights switch-on show with Gem106 FM.


 

This level of success shouldn’t come as too much of a shock to those who have followed Conor Dawson’s musical progress. Previous band The Vacations was so well written and produced that they had their music synced to TV shows like ‘Jersey Shore’ and ‘Friendzone’. This is a sure sign of song writing quality, and he is now utilising his talents to create solo music in his very own mould.

SAM AND THE BLACK SEAS DEBUT SINGLE - ‘THE LOVE WE OWE’
Milan based four-piece, Sam And The Black Seas are set to release their debut single through the Atomic Fat label on the 6th of May 2016.
‘The Love We Owe’ was mixed by Matteo Sandri and mastered by Giovanni Versari and is the first indication of what to expect from the bands forthcoming debut album ‘Silver’ which is set to arrive in June 2016.
 A download release only, the single is accompanied by a truly original video directed by Erick Loi and Paolo Maccarini of Both Agency.
Formed from the ashes of The Same just over eighteen months ago, the Sam And The Black Seas line up of Sam (lead vocals / guitar), Andrea (guitar), Mattia (cello) and Stefano (drums) have been playing to ever expanding and enthusiastic audiences in the UK and Europe over the last year.
Taking their inspiration from the likes of Nick Drake, Dave Matthews, John Butler Trio, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Mumford & Sons, Ben Harper, Fink and Jose' Gonzales, the band’s mix of two guitars, drums and a cello make for an uplifting and refreshingly upbeat set of acoustic tunes. Sam Rampani’s bittersweet and beautiful lyrics compliment the band’s infectious and dreamlike melodies perfectly and the result is folk tinged alternative pop at it’s very best.
An exciting and really great live band, Sam And The Black Seas are set to announce a string of UK live dates to coincide with the release of the album. More details will follow very soon.

Info 


Brilliant Liverpool band, The Hummingbirds,  have a new single “Emma” released on the 17th June which could be the whistling song for the summer!  

Lecaudé, who has his brand new single, Powder Blue set for release in the coming months. Lecaudé has previously been widely recognised throughout National Radio and will be featuring on The Line Of Best Fit and I’m pleased to say he has finally returned!

Social
www.facebook.com/elegantlywastedband
twitter.com/thewastedrocks
 
Elegantly Wasted has toured Europe 5 times, including large festival dates in Switzerland and Germany and the US twice. They are regular performers at the best rock clubs in Los Angeles. Both their debut album “Greetings from a Strange Place” in 2003 and its follow-up “Desolation Row” in 2007 have produced songs that generated radio airplay both in the US and Europe and the anticipation in both markets for “The Dog Years” will certainly see the momentum build.

If every overnight sensation is 10 years in the making then you can bet that Elegantly Wasted is poised for great successes in 2016 and beyond!


Jack Woodward is a young singer-songwriter from Manchester in North-West England. Writing catchy and intimate pop and rock originals, Jack has ambitions to become a recording artist and share his music with people all over the world. Jack is currently working on his debut EP and playing music venues and events in Manchester, Glasgow and across the UK.


Last year I lived and studied in Glasgow. I performed at King Tuts Wah Wah Hut supporting Rae Morris, The Hug and Pint supporting Karima Francis, The Glad Cafe Supporting Trace Bundy and Headlined Nice n Sleazy.

This year I am based in Manchester playing my music at venues such as Fallow Cafe, Night and Day, Apotheca, The Castle Hotel. I am also playing a show for my fans in Glasgow at the 13th Note supporting Liam McClair on the 28th May.


She Makes War on her new double A side single “Cold Shoulder” / “Paper Thin"

Twitter: @warriorgrrl

Two Guitars who are based in Southampton, England

 

Two mates and over 15 years in various bands is all it took to form acoustic duo Two Guitars.  
Since then, Dan Owers and Rhys Harries have gone on to perform at a number of established venues on the South Coast of England, which in return has gained interest in their debut album The Malbum which is now available to purchase.
Further information on their album along with forthcoming gig dates can be found on their website www.facebook.com/TwoGuitars 



Clocking in at just over 2 minutes, 'Sick' gives the cigarettes and soda pops of ‘60s surf rock a spiky punk upgrade.
Plucked from the same bustling underground scene in Melbourne that spawned Integrity label-mates Valentiine, Mannequin Death Squad are one boy and one girl, lost somewhere between The Melvins and Taylor Swift.
With a live reputation growing with every gig, and with UK label and management deals in place, the young instrument-swapping pair are already planning European shows for the autumn.
 
'Sick' (INT 055) will be available from all major download stores from 10th June.

Jake Morley can certainly claim all the right credentials of a singer-songwriter. Lucy Rose once booked him and Ed Sheeran to play the 40-capacity Monkey Chews in Chalk Farm. His last birthday party was a 5-hour jam with Jack Garratt and Alex Vargas. Previous support acts include Rae Morris and Frances. His new album The Manual (June 3rd) and Jake takes his unique live show around the UK. 

Hailing from England’s North West, Richie Syrett is a Singer/Songwriter with his own distinctive and thoughtful blend of melodic Americana flecked Folk/Rock.  His style makes a grateful bow to a wide number of influences on both sides of the Atlantic so perhaps 'Anglicana' is a more fitting way to describe his sound.  Silhouettes and Outlines is released via Too Die For Records.

Aled Richards - Drummer
Beyond The Break is a rock band from Llanelli, South Wales which includes Catatonia drummer Aled Richards.

The band was signed to London's 2p Records before playing a live show on just the strength of their demo.

The debut E.P ‘Pictures Of Losing Sleep’ was recorded as a live performance direct to tape over the space of two weekends at Smokehouse Studios in London, capturing the band's full essence in the recordings.

EP single track ‘The Way It Was’ received in excess of 25,000 organic plays on Spotify in the first four weeks with the band only playing a handful of shows including a sold out hometown gig and performing for the Foo Fighters Fan Club at the Foo's Wembley show.  At the year mark, the band had broken 100,000 plays.

Preserving the integrity of analogue ‘Pictures ...’ has been released on 12” vinyl and features four intensely engaging alt-rock tracks.

Info 


Jammer is taking things to the next level this year and the visuals for his latest track 'Wavy House' dropped via Noisey last week : http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/blog/jammer-wavy-house-video 
The 1Xtra breakfast show snapped up the radio premiere and since then 
Rinse have added 'Wavy House' to their A-List and Kiss TV have also playlisted the track. 

East London’s Fusion makes his return with brand new video for ‘No.’ Taking it back to Grime’s sonic backbone, it’s a stark reminder of the key elements that make this genre what it is. Produced by Five Nine, it’s a 140 bpm, dirt laden track. The visuals went live via VEVO on Wednesday and since then GRM Daily, Link Up TV and Complex have all supported: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV6mvN4cNHE 


The first insight to 'Thinking Out Loud', the debut film from rapper, Haze is 'You Don't Know Me',https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bQpy3LPM3M 

The Brazen's new single Laser Lips. The band have already been featured by Amazing Radio, AllFM, Radio Warwickshire, Radio Scarborough, Penistone FM, Croydon Radio & Minster FM and it would be ace to hear them on your show too.

Listen to indie-pop anthem Laser Lips (similar to Courteeners/Paolo 

Keep an eye on Beth Sherburn, she's one to watch" - The Sun 

"Beth has pop domination in her sights" - Fabulous Magazine

"This pop princess is ready to stay in the charts" - Sugarscape


This weekend KISS FM premiered Beth Sherburn's new single 'YOLO', exclusively remixed by UK duo The Wideboys. The garage inspired remix is the ideal track to take you into spring. 

The Birmingham based starlet has been busy in the studio working alongside Chelcee Grimes (Kylie Minogue, The Saturday’s) and Ciaron Bell.
Last summer, Beth released her debut single ‘Joker’ featuring US heavy weight Lil Wayne. Beth’s career has since gone from strength to strength as she has seen praise from the likes of MOBO, Heat World, Fabulous Magazine, and The Sun.

Beth has performed at the most prestigious venues in the UK including Wembley Arena as well as Trafalgar Square where Beth headlined PRIDE both in London and Manchester. She was also hand-picked to support The Saturday’s on their sold out arena greatest hits tour.

With a smash hit new single, a solo tour and rave reviews – get ready to hear a lot more from Beth Sherburn!



CIRCLE OF REASON UNVEIL COLOURS VIDEO SINGLE

Following the very recent arrival of their 'Questions', Southampton's (UK) Circle Of Reason are now back with their latest video single titled 'Colours'. Showcasing another metallic and emotive rock track, 'Colours' is an epic anthem taken from the bands forthcoming album 'Faith Or Theory'.

For the British quartet Circle Of Reason, the path that led to the creation of their new album Faith Or Theory is one that ultimately saw them start to assess their own relationships, and try to get a handle on their place in the world. Having taken a well-earned break after the release of their 2013 record These Hands And This Mind – which also saw them share stages with the likes of Feed The Rhino, Marmozets, Neck Deep, Mallory Knox, Creeper, Allusondrugs and Fearless Vampire Killers, as well as be featured on Kerrang! TV and Scuzz - the band’s 2015 became all about putting pen to paper and getting in front of crowds, starting with a slot at Takedown Festival. A small line-up change later, and the resultant tracks are short stories that convey with great emotion just how much Circle Of Reason means to its members.

 Appealing to fans of Deftones, Funeral For A Friend, Biffy Clyro, Smashing Pumpkins and Mastodon, Circle Of Reason are a band that specialise in carefully planned dynamics, gargantuan guitar riffs and all fused with melodic hooks.

Artist: Gimson feat. Melissa Dawn and Koast

ADHD, depression, delusions, oppression, debt, stress and thought provoking issues pretty much sum up Gimson’s new single Broken.

Imogen Tonder is a singer-songwriter who has recently moved to Paris from London, in search of expanding the reach of her writing and music, Imogen is on a mission to seek out and perform at local music haunts in her journey of chance.

‘Show Me Love’ is a clever musical fusion piece taken from her second album ‘Lie With Me’ and is the result of collaboration with Kazakhstanian Dance music producer Sanlight. Imogen was contacted by Sanlight online, he loved her voice so much that he asked her to write the melody/lyrics for his track, ‘Show Me Love’ was then created as Imogen’s first Dance track and an extremely special one. Due to overwhelming response to the track she’s decided to re-release it in order to hit at a wider, more diverse audience.

‘Show Me Love’ portrays an eclectic mix of genres and is excellently shown within this latest release. Spanning through various genres from Classical to Electronic to borderline House, this single in particular creates an immediate easy-listening vibe.

Imogen wrote her first song when she was ten years old and has been writing consistently ever since. Her Debut album ‘Half Alone’ was released in 2012 and her second album ‘Lie With Me’ is set for UK release mid-2016.



Franco & The Dreadnought who is based in Manchester, England

 

Franco & The Dreadnought is the pseudonym of multi instrumentalist John Blaylock and now returns with his new single Who Cares.
Having been no stranger to success, and as a testament to the power of his musical ability, Franco was asked personally by Desomond Tutu to write a song celebrating the life of Nelson Mandela which was then given to him as a gift for his birthday.
Since then, he has gone on to complete a US tour, and collaborated with top songwriters Rick Garcia, Pam Sheyne and Marcella Detroit who he wrote Who Cares with.
Quoted as having heartfelt vocals, superb songwriting skills and his trusty Dreadnought acoustic guitar, you can find out more information on Franco & The Dreadnought by visiting his website www.francodreadnought.com or you can follow him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/FrancoDreadnought

The Dollyrots!  Californian pop punks have a new single out called Save Me. 
 
Save Me is taken from the recent Mama's Gonna Knock You Out EP, which itself was a bonus release created during the PledgeMusic campaign for The Dollyrots first ever live release, the double pack CD/DVD Family Vacation: Live In Los Angeles (which is also out now). 




Chàrlee M. 
Musically, especially in the piano sound you'll find referencies to the „Roaring Twenties“. But of course “Back In Time“ is a modern pop- und dancesong that works in the club and on the radio. It sounds as if Lady Gaga and Marlene Dietrich would excessively party in a club!

Rachel returns with her third single, ‘Safe Island’, after a successful season of Edinburgh gigs at the Electric Circus, Teviot Underground, Roxy Assembly Rooms and The Wee Red Bar.
