Writing, producing and developing their own material, The Shy Project have been working tirelessly in and out of the studio trying to build a masterpiece as well as the right image in which they feel best represents them and their generations struggle.

Theia - We're Alive - out now!
"What more could you want from a hard rock song, great riffs, strong vocals and a big guitar solo. This is up there with the best of them in this genre for me..." Chris Straw, Bauer Media Group.
THEIA are:
Kyle Lamley (Guitars and Vocals)
Paul Edwards (Bass and Backing Vocals)
John Tolley (Drums and Percussion)
Biography
“4.5 billion years ago a blazing ball of rock named THEIA hit the planet that we now refer to as Earth; giving life to a once barren, uninhabitable landscape...
Since the current line-up came together in 2014, THEIA have been making waves both locally and on the English Rock Festival Circuit. With a focused work ethic and a band built on a love of live music, their aim is to continue writing and playing for the people who support them.
The band are from Burton and they play high octane, fully-loaded, riff-driven Rock n' Roll... catchy choruses, huge riffs and a thumping rhythm section.
Don't just read about it... check out the track!
"From the first listen of their debut EP I was hooked. Seeing them live is an experience- too young to be this good- but get used to it because they are outstanding! Cannot wait for the album..." Ebony B- DJ & Promoter
“I listened to the stuff I was sent by THEIA and thought there has to be some sort of mixing going on here, something else going on, they can't do this live at their age... so I went and saw them live. Holy s*** man, they are as good live, they're amazing! You're going to love them.” David Tonge- Noize Level Critical.
“Three words to best describe their sound... “faster, louder, stronger” – all of which encapsulate them perfectly. They are very much ALIVE with a brand of hard rock inspired by the southern-state style, complete with licks, riffs, solos and raw attitude.
Such a great sound and such a professional attitude – it’s difficult to foresee anything holding them back.” IBRAN Promotions

Come On and Shoot', an intricately layered track boasting smouldering vocals and an infusion of electronica, is the latest offering from London based musician John Wright.
Based in Shoreditch, this multi-instrumentalist has been making music for his own enjoyment "forever", but through his successful career as a respected filmmaker and photographer, regularly working with Sony Music and some of the world's most iconic musicians, John Wright received the encouragement he needed to release his music as 'Teenage Wildlife'.
Priding himself on an entirely self-sufficient approach to his music, John writes, plays and records drums, bass, guitar and keys in his attic studio, creating stunning sonic backdrops, seamlessly blending hip hop and dance with melodic dub to produce unique genre-crossing soundscapes. His compositions have appeared on fashion films for Fendi and Dior and he recently directed 'Savile Row is Rock N Roll' a short film for GQ's featuring some of Britain's most iconic musicians, collaborating on its soundtrack with Paul Weller, Johnny Marr and Duran Duran's John Taylor.
A pair of singles released earlier this year, 'Last Great Love Affair' and 'Most Beautiful Thing', received worldwide airplay and had the likes of Netsky and One Direction's Harry Styles taking to social media to praise them. Despite this success, John's background remains his primary motivating force. I had a pretty rough upbringing he explains. I think the term is underprivileged. I designed Teenage Wildlife as a vehicle to express myself musically and I use the funds I raise to support charities that help underprivileged young people.
The impressively crafted and perfectly produced 'Come On and Shoot' will certainly take Teenage Wildlife to an even wider audience, creating huge anticipation for debut album 'The Degenerate Art Exhibition' slated for release in spring 2015.

New album Hungry Ghosts released 16th February 2015
by Paracadute via BMG
Koko live show announced for 13th February 2015
LA’s OK Go are thrilled to announce the release of their glorious new single ‘I Won’t Let You Down’. Taken from the forthcoming album Hungry Ghosts, ‘I Won’t Let You Down’ is released 8th December or available instantly for free if you pre-order the album: po.st/GSPO.
A space-age, dance-floor ready banger, ‘I Won’t Let You Down’ will soon be accompanied by unbelievably creative new visuals, set to follow the triumphs of their previous groundbreaking viral videos. The futuristic funk of the new single see’s OK Go push their sound to gratifying new heights – something which continues throughout the forthcoming fourth album.
Of the track, singer/guitarist Damian Kulash says: “’I Won’t Let You Down’ is the closest that spaceship OK Go has come to the planet disco. We were playing around with beats and grooves and stumbled upon one of those moments of alchemy where a ball of light just jumps out of the sound. Suddenly there was a flash of Jackson Five and Diana Ross and we knew we had something worth chasing.”
Continuing a career that includes New York Times op-eds, a major label split, viral videos and the establishment of a DIY trans-media mini-empire named Paracadute, collaborations with pioneering dance companies and tech giants, animators and Muppets, OK Go continue to fearlessly dream and build new worlds in a time when creative boundaries have all but dissolved.
OK Go will return to the UK for a one off show at London’s Koko on 13th February 2015ahead of their album released on 16th February 2015 via Paracadute / BMG. Tickets are available now from po.st/OkGoKoko
