Info 


Swiss alt rockers Spencer - their new single Hidden From The Sun is here 

The band trade in soaring & brooding rock songs that are similar to Editors/Vant/30 Seconds To Mars & the new single is great. Their last album charted in the Swiss Top 40 & they've had video rotation on MTV/Viva in Germany/Switzerland along with great press from Rolling Stone & Rckstr magazines in Europe.

At the heart of Righteous Reprobates are the songwriting talents of Rob White (Guitar, Vocals), brought together with Charlie Kenny (Drums), Jack Griffiths (Guitar, Vocals), and Jack Collier (Bass). 

An album looms in the near future with some tracks already mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. The band have already had some impressive reviews and radio play…Pure M stating ‘This is a band with plenty of potential’. The band has been making a buzz on the London live circuit too, with promoters & bookers frequently putting forward dates and offering them the headline slot on their bills. Venues already on the band burgeoning CV include The Forum, Roadtrip & Workshop, Water Rats and the 229 Club. 

The bands next two London shows are 29th July @ 93 Feet East, Brick Lane and 3rd Sept @ 229 Club 

Citing major influences such as Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Stone Roses, Nirvana, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. What makes this band stand out from the crowed is that all four of them are impressive musicians armed with great songs that cry out to be sung in stadiums and festival the world over. Rob’s songwriting features meaningful and memorable lyrics, inspired melodies and harmonies. The band delivers a menacing sonic wall of layered guitars, each song infused with effortlessly slick riffs and grooves: a fitting canvas for the relentless surge of hooks and anthemic choruses that define a fresh sound that truly impresses and cries out to be heard. 

This indie four piece may just be this generations Stone Roses.

Americana singer-songwriter Daniel Pearson will release his new single 4th July on June 17th. The immediately infectious track (hot on the heels of his acclaimed 2015 Alone, Together album) is a freewheeling slice of his songwriting talents that welds driving guitars, Johnny n’ June vocal harmonies & raucous harmonica into an ironic tale of love gone sour that fizzes by in under three minutes.

Daniel has released three albums to widespread critical acclaim around the world. Writers for Uncut Magazine, R2 Magazine, Nashville Gab, The Daily Mirror, Drowned In Sound, No Depression, Americana UK, PopMatters, Baeble Music & many more have been quick to praise timeless songwriting that fuses poetic lyrics to classic country & rock dynamics. His songs have been aired by influential DJs on NPR, BBC Radio 2, BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing, KROQ, Lightning 100, Amazing Radio, Triple J, Double J & more. TV has also made use of his emotive vocals & melodies, with his songs soundtracking hit shows in the UK. With albums praised for their lyrical skill & willingness to incorporate garage rock, blues, folk and gospel influences into his core country sound, 4th July offers a more direct example of Pearson’s ability to craft nagging pop melodies within a story of betrayal & independence between two lovers.

In addition to winning over media tastemakers, Daniel has also been a word-of-mouth success story online with thousands of fans regularly sharing his songs on Twitter, YouTube, Soundcloud & Spotify. This loyal fanbase has powered him to 20,000 iTunes downloads, over 300,000 streams & successful solo tours of the USA & UK.

4th July is an attention-grabbing introduction to an artist with a wealth of great songs. In an age of conveyor-belt rock & disposable cookie-cutter pop, Pearson is proving himself as a genuine talent built for the long run.

Kerosene

Alessio “Alex” Vigo – Vocals
Elvys Damiano – Electric & Acoustic Guitars
Marco “Billy” Vitantoni- Bass
Saverio “Save” Federici – Drums
 
The band were born in 2006 with their first demo to attract live promoters and build local following. Working hard over the next 2 years they were recognised as a high quality alternative metal band playing the Italian unsigned live circuit.
 
2008 Kerosene grabbed the attention of the media with their self titled debut album recorded at the Lightless Studios Terni Italy. Released in 2008 through New LM Records and distributed in Italy and Europe by Masterpiece. The songs were described as “a fist on the stomach”, powerful, dynamic and melodic. The album was well received by the critics and appreciated by the fans, giving the band the chance to gig all around Italy.
 
After the release of “Kerosene”, the bands  line-up changed, bringing in Marco “Billy” Vitantoni on bass. 2010 the band joined Carlo Bellotti’s Alkemist Fanatix Europe for management, promotion and booking activities. As a consequence of this collaboration the album “Face the Real” was recorded at the Real Sound Studios in Parma Italy. The album was mastered by Jamal Ruhe at the West West Side Studios USA and self released on October 30 2011.
 
2014 the band went through another line-up change: Saverio “Save” Federici joined the band as new drummer; previously toured with allot of bands among which Eric Martin from Mr Big.

like postcards from an earlier, purer, more positive time’ - The Sunday Herald on Stephen’s previous album Today Tomorrow

English-born, Scottish-residing singer-songwriter Stephen Harrison delivers this intimate and heartfelt new folk record Cherry Fair.

Having written his own songs since he was a teenager, Stephen got into music through legendary sixties acts such as The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan and George Harrison – the music that his older siblings would listen to.
 
‘As a teenager I was writing folk songs on acoustic guitar. Aged 16, I would strap my guitar on my back and head off 'on my moped' to places such as the Barnoldswick Folk Club.’
 
During the late seventies, Stephen’s musical interests shifted. Attending the Edinburgh College Of Art in 1977, he was founding member of the post-punk band Metropak. The band supported the likes of The Rezillos and Josef K, and received airplay from John Peel.
 
Having since disbanded, Stephen has now returned to his folk roots. His new album draws on his experience, exploring an array of pensive topics from unrequited love to reconciliation to the brevity of life.  The subject matter deepens as the tracks progress.
 
Although minimal in sound, Cherry Fair is the result of a lot careful time and effort, Stephen going to great lengths to achieve the perfect sound using unconventional guitar tunings and a particular picking style. Vocals are often recorded multiple times so that he can achieve the exact phrasing. The result is a very clean and polished record.

 
As well as having a passion in music, Stephen is also a keen painter. Emotional tone plays a key part in his interest in the arts.
 
Artists that Stephen can be compared to include the likes of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, early Lou Reed and Richard Hawley.
 
Cherry Fair is out now

RIVITA 

Hailing from the colourful city of New Delhi, India, Rivita is a 20-something singer/songwriter practicing her art in the city of London. Her new single Silent Nights is out in July. 

She has been making waves in the underground music scene in U.K. over the past couple of years having performed at numerous prestigious venues including O2 Islington, Westfield London and many more. Ever since Rivita was a little girl, she has been fascinated by music. At the tender age of 5 she became a part of her school's choir and performed regularly various events and functions. As a teenager, Rivita picked up the guitar and there was no looking back. Her love for music brought her to London where she was offered a place to study at the prestigious British and Irish Institute of Modern Music (previously known as Tech Music School, London). Studying under the guidance of the world class faculty of BIMM, London was a holistic experience for Rivita. Here she thrived as a musician and found her own sound and embarked upon a musical journey of being a singer/songwriter. This is where she first formed her band and started performing in and around London and meeting wonderful people along the way. 

During the course, Rivita not only grew as a performer but also as a music composer and producer. After graduating from BIMM, London her impecable intuition toward composing for Film and Television led her to pursue a Master's degree in Composing for Film and Television at the reputable Kingston University. Being the youngest individual on the course, she faced many exciting challenges and excelled at them. Being professionally conversant with softwares such as Logic X, Sibelius and Pro tools, Rivita quickly gathered many skills that could benefit her career as a Singer/Songwriter, Composer, Producer and a Music Educator. 

In the last 4 years, Rivita has been actively involved in Ethnic music and has performed with Brazilian percussion group BLOCO LCM and Paraiso School of Samba at events such as Notting Hill Carnival 2015, Pride London 2015 and many more. She went onto study World Music during her Bachelors degree at BIMM and eventually did a research project on "Ethnomusicology in Film Scoring" for her Master's degree. Her enthusiasm for World Music and percussion adds a unique streak to her music. Listeners often hear hints of her Eastern roots in her music. Taking inspiration from her research into Ethnic music and her background in Popular Music, her music blends in various cultures, thoughts and sounds, 

Beware of Rivita's catchy hooks while listening to her music, they might get stuck in your head and stay there forever! Her songwriting skills have won her the semi-finalist position in the UK Songwriting Contest 2014 for her song Fly Away. While Rivita has been practicing a Pop/Rock sound with a golden hint of East, her upcoming music is moving towards an Electronic sound and she can't wait to share it with the world!

Norwegian pop singer Line Mari releases catchy and crisp single ‘Crush’
 
"Line Mari’s voice is just indescribably amazing’ -  Elza Böröndy, Utropia
 
Hailing from Norway, fresh pop singer Line Mari releases this rock-infused pop song set to appear on her upcoming album.
 
Featuring some gorgeous vocals and crisp production, ‘Crush’ was recorded with the help of producer Rob Cass who has worked with the likes of Robbie Williams, Will Young and Paloma Faith.
 
Stream the song here:
https://soundcloud.com/line-mari/crush-noa3y1601010/s-8nu9i
 
Having played guitar and piano since the age of 10, Line has long had a passion for music, her mother often telling her she could feel her dancing in the womb. She started writing her own songs and performing to people as a late teenager, although she was very shy at first. However, this shyness also helped to fuel her songwriting, making her lyrics more personal and introspective.
 
Releasing her debut EP Fly High Fly Low in 2014, Line has already gained some recognition in Norway, her EP receiving acclaim from critics including a top score of 6 from Utropia. Her single ‘Why do I Cry’ was even played on national radio.
 
A highly versatile musician, Line not only sings and writes her own music, she also plays a number of instruments include guitar, piano and harmonica (she is currently also learning to play the fiddle). She has a keen interest in vintage music and vintage guitars and owns several custom made guitars and her own custom-made pedal-board.
 
Line was born in Tromsø, also living for some time in Svalbard, one of the most Northerly inhabited places in the world. As a child, she grew up regularly witnessing the beauty of the Northern Lights, as well as once having a close encounter with a polar bear whilst at Kindergarten.
 
Having already played a gig in Bedford and recorded in London, the singer is now looking to spread word of her talents to the UK.

August 12 sees the release of “Stand Down”, the new single from Morrissey and Marshall. 

"We felt this would be the perfect follow up to 'Cold November Sunrise' - it is a step in a direction that feels very exciting to us. We're growing as writers, The (Morrissey and Marshall) band are growing in numbers and we're loving it right now." 

"Lyrically, the song is inspired by those poor unfortunates (usually politicians) who tend to stop at nothing when striving for success... They will lie, mislead, instill fear and do whatever it takes to get the people on side, without any true regard for the people. This song sparks the idea that there will eventually come a time when we'll come together, rise above them and use truth and honesty to start fixing all of the things that need to be fixed." 
Morrissey and Marshall, both as a do and with full band are performing a series of concerts throughout the summer including several festivals. 

As well as full band, Morrissey & Marshall perform as a harmony duo and have toured with The Magic Numbers, Sinead O'Connor, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott and Damien Dempsey to name a few. 

"People are drawn to their song-writing, the clever melodies and in particular the sound of their voices singing in unison – simply beautiful." - Louder Than War 

"It almost seems impossible that two voices can compliment one another in such a relaxed and seemingly accidental way, quite frankly, they’re built on sounding perfect." - It Sounded Sweet 

"Morrissey and Marshall are fantastically engaging and have a remarkably large sound for only two people" - Supajam

New York rockers THE SO SO GLOS return to the UK airwaves with new single 'DANCING INDUSTRY' on the 22nd July via Votiv / Caroline International, followed by their new album 'KAMIKAZE' in September!

Paint The Sky’, the follow up to the Q Magazine ‘Track Of The Week’ debut release ‘Flood’, was self-produced and recorded over the last few months in his own studio and will be available digitally via all the main outlets

Bittersweet pop that’s both cutting and metaphorical, the new track veers slightly from the catchy electro feel of his first release, but the diversity shown here is special and further whets the appetite for the eagerly awaited I AM KODE debut album which is due later this year.
 
‘Paint The Sky’ is accompanied by a highly engaging video directed by Hong Kong born film producer Ka Ki Wong. The director made her name in recent years participating in controversial activist protests in Hong Kong as a documentary video/photographer.  In a slight departure from her typical assignments, Ka Ki sets this unusual story within I AM KODE’s hometown of Hampton Wick. Again, the music producer offers us something strikingly different to your standard run-of-the-mill style pop music video.

The multi-talented, I AM KODE has been developing his electronic tinged sound over the last couple of years in his South West London home studio. His musical influences range from the likes of Jack Garratt to Sia and Madeon, but is also inspired by the way that producers such as Mark Ronson and Moby approach their craft. Taking the DIY approach, he prefers to do everything from recording lead and backing vocals, string and orchestral arrangements, synths, pianos, programming in drums and bass lines; completely on his own.

Info 


Julia Grayling who is based in Arizona. USA. 

 

Coming from a musical family where her father was guitarist and songwriter with 70's band Heartsfield, at the age of 13 Julia Grayling was following in his footsteps as a prolific songwriter and performer.
Having won the Best Song Of The Month for Songwriter Universe in October 2014, and supporting the likes of Kansas, not to mention a number of radio stations playing her material, Julia Grayling caught the attention of producer James Sanger who has worked with the likes of Keane and Dido to name but a few.
Currently recording her new album at his studio in France, Julia Grayling has now released her first single from it titled Shallow Heart.
Described as being an infectious artist with an edgy touch, you can find more information on Julia Grayling by visiting her website www.juliagrayling.com or you can follow her on Facebook and Twitter at www.facebook.com/juliagraylingmusic and www.twitter.com/julia_Grayling


Twinnie has a really strong history in music and acting with connections to the likes of The Shires, and a number of acclaimed songwriters who have worked with the likes of Jason Mraz and James Bay. She also has done backing vocals for the likes of Pharrell Williams and has her own publishing deal with Universal. She also recently appeared as Porsche McQueen in Hollyoaks and in West End musicals Rock of Ages and Chicago. Despite all this her heart has always been in country music and with her new single she is unifying her pop associations with her country roots.




 

Color Out is a rock solo project from Dave Hedrick hailing from Chicago.
 

Heavily influenced by early 2000's rock, Color Out looks to expand on what made those bands so successful while still creating its own unique sound. With screams and falsettos over distorted and acoustic guitars, Color Out writes emotional music with lyrics to match.
 

Matheson Kamin from RockandRollReport.com gave the EP a Five-Star rating and writes, "When listening to the self-titled release from Color Out, one thing becomes apparent - Dave Hedrick is a very strong musician and it shows as every musical part within the songs are played with skill”.

Bio:
Taking its name from The Temptations' song “Law of the Land”, The Almighty Man Band is the musical moniker and stage name of Cardiff musician and singer/songwriter Richard Davies.
 

Supported by a collection of assorted musicians his music and sound draws on influences ranging from Buffalo Springfield/Neil Young through to Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen. The Debut Album “Close Enough to Touch” is produced by Charlie Francis and features notable performances from James Walbourne (The Rails) and Jack Eggleston (Future of the Left) and evokes memories of lost summer nights, heartbreak and road trips.
 

A meeting with producer Charlie Francis in late 2011 ushered in a new phase in conceptual and material development of The Almighty Man Band’s life. The debut album “Close Enough to Touch” features contributions from various musicians whose talent and influence bring an authenticity and familiarity to the band’s feel and sound. 
 

The first album “Close Enough to Touch” was released in 2015 and evokes memories of lost summer nights, heartbreak and road-trips.
 

The track ‘Turn Out The Lights’ is from the aforementioned album.

Slam Cartel:
Gary Moffat (vocals),
Terence Warville (guitar/vocals),
JC (guitar/vocals),
Marc Neudeck (bass guitar/vocals),
Steve Campkin (drums). 
 

Described by ex-Cult guitarist and current Billy Idol guitarist, Billy Morrison, as having “melodies the size of Texas, hooks that could catch a Great White”,  Slam Cartel started as an idea in Terence Warville’s mind and, on a boat in the sun with nothing more than a guitar and a tape recorder, the seeds were sown for the thirteen killer tracks on critically acclaimed debut album “Handful of Dreams”.

As the band stormed stages at the Scala, Sonisphere, Hammerfest and Hard Rock Hell, the singles were snapped up one after another by Planet Rock, TBFM and countless independent radio stations around the world.

2014 saw a line up change, with Gary Moffatt taking over vocal duties and Damo Fawcett filling the Lead Guitar role. With this new, stronger line up the live show reached new heights, and saw the release of the AA side single Vanishing Worlds/Hypnotised.

2015 took Slam Cartel even higher, with their super ballad ‘Storm Seasoned’ being released and being played repeatedly on over 200 radio stations worldwide.

In April this year the band undertook a UK tour during which they introduced fans to their new guitarist JC.
 

Slam Cartel’s highly anticipated new single ‘WorldStarLove’ will not disappoint.  They say "it was written to sing along to and recorded to groove with”…. a perfect song for a Summer worldwide release.
 

The official release date is 17th June when it will be available on all digital platforms around the globe.

Bio:
Michael Bush is a singer songwriter from South Wales, armed with a guitar and a collection of melodic songs, written with people in mind.
 

He was influenced at a very young age by Britpop in the mid 90s, with bands such as Oasis and Blur capturing his imagination. It was their influence that made him pick up a guitar at the age of 14 and learn to play.  He then started songwriting a couple of years later, but lacking confidence didn’t start performing until many years later in his mid 20s.
 

Michael’s singing/songwriting, and his guitar playing especially, has been heavily influenced by the likes of Neil Young, John Lennon and Bob Dylan.
 

He wants to keep writing songs and making music and considers it a bonus if people get to hear and like what he does.

The Breaking Pattern

The band cite emo and pop-punk acts such as Real Friends, The Wonder Years, Man Overboard and The Hotelier as influences. Fellow Arizona indie rockers Lydia have offered the band much support, their guitarist Justin Camacho even co-writing songs with the band in the past.

The album lyrically tackles the hurdles of a failing relationship. The band’s frontman explains: ‘The album is somewhat of a break-up album, chronicling the various stages of a doomed relationship from the moments leading up to the split until the resolution and recovery. I say “somewhat” because it is not a concept album. The songs do not tell one specific story, but are a compilation of personal experience and the stories I’ve witnessed from friends who had their own hearts disintegrated into red dust.’

 

Producer Cory Spotts engineers the record, having worked with other esteemed Arizona acts including The Maine, The Summer Set, BlessTheFall and Job for a Cowboy.

 

Within the first few months of their formation, the band opened for celebrated acts such as Emarosa, This Century, Weatherbox and The Rocket Summer. They have since sold out multiple shows.

 

Vocalist Derek Hackman previously fronted a band called Ezer. Having long had a passion for music, he began writing songs aged 11. Moving house frequently as a child, Derek dealt with long periods of social isolation that fuelled his songwriting. The first time he ever sang live was at his high school graduation – in front of 6000 people. He was so nervous he vomited in the bathroom only minutes prior to going up on stage.

 

Derek is also a published poet and has a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology.

 

Making up the band’s other members include drummer Brandon (who also handles a lot of the photography), guitarist Nick (who happens to also be an award-winning coffee roaster) and bassist Jacob (who is Columbian and fluent in Spanish).

 

A promo video for the album’s opening track ‘Let Love go’ is available here: https://youtu.be/c3mzFSMi22w

There Are Roadmaps In Our Veins is out April 8th.

Essex-based singer-songwriter Tom Ryder has unveiled Desk Job, the new single lifted from his recent Strings Attached EP. The energetic three minute track offers a tongue-in-cheek exploration of the daily 9 to 5 grind alongside infectious folk-pop melodies & soaring vocals.

A musician since his teenage years, Tom has enjoyed a stellar start to his career as a solo artist. Influenced by classic singer-songwriter staples John Martyn, Damien Rice & Tracy Chapman, his songs have been quick to make an impression with influential media tastemakers. BBC Introducing in Cambridge, BBC Essex and BBC Three Counties Radio have playlisted Tom’s songs and invited him in for live sessions, and the EP title track Strings Attached has already been heard on the airwaves of 39 BBC regional stations as Track Of The Week on the Mark Forrest Show. Last year’s beautiful charity single Silence Breaking Through Sound not only showcased heartfelt, emotive songwriting and raised over £9000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, but also gained celebrity praise & approval from Chris Evans and Rod Stewart when they watched a live performance of the song. Despite the life experience as a part-time journalist he brings to the wry lyrics of Desk Job, it’s surely only a matter of time before Tom Ryder is known for a very different full-time profession as a talented singer-songwriter.

Tom will be playing shows & festivals in support of the EP this summer. For more info, head tohttp://www.tomaryder.com.

Featuring a killer hook and a lively party atmosphere, ‘Wreckless’ is the new fun single from Essex-born, Bournemouth-based rising UK hip hop star, J Keys.

The rapper started writing music 10 years ago, his debut album ‘When Idols Become Rivals’ dropping a couple years back, receiving much praise from fans.

With a new LP in the works, J plans to slowly drip-feed us a new track each month, ‘Wreckless’ being the first taster. It comes accompanied by some vibrant action-packed visuals.
 
Check the video out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJkYnP8iU4g

 
J has previously worked with artists such as K Koke and Little Mix vocalist Megan Cotton. He also has experience as an actor and has appeared in Eastenders, The Bill and a number of short films.

On top of music, J Keys is also heavily involved with personal training and kickboxing: ‘If I’m not at the studio, I’m at the gym!’
 
The single ‘Wreckless’ is out May 25th

Genre-mashing pop duo LewRey will release their massive new single Never on Friday 20th May on all major download & streaming platforms. The track follows the success of their debut What’s Up EP & last year’s dancefloor-filling single Somebody, which saw the boys play over 250 UK shows, win over festival crowds & pick up new fans every step of the way in 2015.
Never is a pop anthem that showcases Lewis Reynold’s talent for instantly memorable hooks & yearning vocals alongside Ian Walker’s pounding, tribal drums that power the track. LewRey’s combination of soul-pop melodies, club-ready choruses & indie dynamics has already led to airplay with BBC Introducing & live sessions on regional stations around the UK, and their growing fanbase on social media regularly share their inventive medley videos online. The boys’ impressive musicianship and energetic live show has also blown away crowds at support slots with Professor Green, Example, Pendulum, The Japanese House, MistaJam and Aquilo as well as audiences at The CoffeeHouse university tour & various major festivals last summer.
To coincide with the single, the boys have announced a UK tour including a huge hometown launch show at Leeds University where they’ll be joined by Wretch 32 and Tom Zanetti. 
See LewRey live at the following shows - 
13/05 - LONDON, The Century Club 
14/05 - LANCASTER, University Union 
21/05 - LEEDS, Leeds University 
27/05 - CLECKHEATON, Live Room 
29/05 - HUDDERSFIELD, Five Bar 
31/05 - SHEFFIELD, West St Live 
02/06 - BIRMINGHAM, Actress & Bishop

'The New World Order' is taken from 'Pathways'; the second EP from fast-rising Cabin Boy Jumped Ship, which was released last week. Having toured extensively last year, including a run with Eskimo Callboy, the band are kicking off their summer with a headline run with On Hollow Ground.


KILLATRIX

Raised on Manga, metal and the undeniable influence of the Essex dance scene, Killatrix like to push the boundaries of rock, lacing it with electronica to create a hybrid, electro-dirt noise. Citing influences from the deep grunt of Nu Metal, the vocal genius of Gwen Stefani and old school electro, their sound is a combination of hard hitting beats, massive bass, fat guitars and gnarly synths, topped with powerful vocals.
 
With the Essex music scene in good health but local venues in decline, the band decided to get out into the world, building up an impressive portfolio of shows which has seen them secure festival slots at the likes of Brownstock and V Festival, supporting reggae-metal outfit Sonic Boom Six as well as being asked to support one of the bands biggest influences, The Qemists, on their 2015 tour.

In 2015 they released their first single Overcome to some acclaim, dubbed as a future classic by BBC Essex Introducings Ollie Winiberg, and have since released the follow-up single Bad Language, which has seen the band make a name for themselves in and around Essex and London. With new singles and a debut album ready to go, the band will be playing a number of supporting shows around the UK with a few European shows in the pipeline.
 
SinDii reveals playing live is what we do best. Every time we step up onto any stage we give it all weve got, always. Chris agrees, We all love what we do and the music we make. There are so many ideas that we want try. Its exciting!.

Upcoming live shows:
17th June, The Shed, Leicester
24th June, Bar 42, Worthing
16th July, Flairz, Hastings
23rd July, Bad Days Festival No' 8, Chelmsford

JO COOPER RELEASES FEEL GOOD ELECTROPOP SINGLE ‘TOUCH THE SKY'

Having performed on Australia’s number 1 breakfast show ‘The Morning Show’ as well as performing for Rugby League team The South Sydney Rabbitohs during half-time, Sydney singer/songwriter Jo Cooper is now aiming to push her talents global with this feel good electro-pop single, ‘Touch The Sky’.

 

Listen to the single here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv5LYEo4O3o

 

JoC_BTS_233.JPG
The fun party song features an explosively catchy chorus and energetic synth-driven instrumental, produced by Brisbane beat smith Stuart Stuart. Grammy Award winning engineer Bob Ludwig (Madonna, Daft Punk, Coldplay, Nirvana, Train, Mariah Carey, David Bowie) personally quoted the track as “Catchy as Hell”.


 

Australia may be exiting summer right now, but here in the Northern hemisphere it’s right on time!

 

A self-confessed workaholic, Jo has previously dealt with work stress that left her so ill she had to be rushed to hospital. Recording her debut album hasn’t been any less stressful for Jo, she had to deal with a difficult producer who overcharged her only to find out she needed to record the entire album again from scratch with another producer. ‘Touch the Sky’ sees the artist lyrically relinquishing all the stress in her life and focusing on the good.

 

‘It’s an uplifting song, about brushing off the day and going out and feeling good about life’, explains Jo Cooper.

 

This single follows the success of her 2013 song ‘Stupid Boy’, a track which gained international attention with its Ministry of Sound house remix Produced by London electronic duo Hoxton Whores, the remix climbed into the top 100 reaching 20 on UK’s Music Week Club Charts.

 

In 2014 Jo released her highly anticipated debut EP, Running Free, along with her empowering single ‘Don’t Turn Back’, skilfully tackling the heavy topic of domestic abuse.

 

‘You cannot help but fall in love with Jo, one of those personalities that makes you smile when she’s around. Jo’s voice is beautiful and full of energy and her talent is only that of a star in the making’ – Carmelo Pizzino (Dancing With The Stars)

 

Her debut album is now in the works, due for release mid 2016, with single 'Touch the Sky' out May 20th.
