The band consists of:
Matt Palfreman - Vocals, Rhythm Guitar
Karl O'Neill - Lead Guitar
Joe Warriner - Bass
Phil Hallwood - Drums
The band formed in late 2012 under the name 'Soulshine' when Matt decided to give up the Hampshire singer-songwriter circuit and move home, longtime friend Joe had recently left his Reggae band and was looking to start a new project, the two started writing songs together and eventually convinced Phil to join on drums after performing at a local open mic night. The trio were later joined by Karl in early 2013 to complete the lineup.
The band has developed a local following and survived a 6 month departure from Joe, who later decided to return. It was during this absence that the band realised they all relied heavily on each other in the creation of their sound. Upon Joe's return the band changed it's name to 'Still The Mind', named after a book on meditation by Alan Watts, a philosopher and writer that they are all heavily influenced by.
Still The Mind continues to grow and evolve their own unique sound..

About
Formed in April 2012, Eurasianeyes are a synth duo consisting of long-time friends Mel Bell and Paul Russell. Due to favourable fan responses from their YouTube releases, that following year the band produced their debut EP, “Silent Cries”. They have developed their own style of classic synth music with a modern twist. A mixture of strong synth arpeggio’s along with electronic bass lines, addictive melodies and powerful vocals make Eurasianeyes an exciting prospect within the current synth scene
Sound Production
Mel and Paul are both actively involved in writing the Eurasianeyes tracks. They described the development and production of the tracks as a “team effort”. To date they have worked with producer Geoff Pinckney who mixes and adds additional production to the tracks.
Reviews
The Electricity Club (TEC) recently wrote a piece introducing Eurasianeyes. They quoted:
“EURASIANEYES are definitely on the right road to making a name for themselves. Having shown consistency with their music and utilised classic monochromatic imagery to promote their brand, they are certainly an act to watch out for”.

FRIDAY 6TH FEB EP LAUNCH PARTY @ BIRTHDAYS, LONDON
“Be sure to keep an eye out for Youth Club - their seaside-y indie-pop will be almost impossible to ignore” - Bring The Noise ‘Ones to Watch 2015’
“Energizing, imaginative, refreshing and simply damn right brilliant - the quartet from Southend-on-Sea are destined for a bright future” - IAmMusicTV
Four piece band Youth Club are set to release ‘People’ – taken from the self-produced EP BROTHERS - through Lab Records (Fort Hope, Young Kato) this March. Sounding like long lost brothers of Phoenix and Two Door Cinema Club, their music mixes guitar licks, electronic keys and RnB vocals to create crisp, dance orientated pop.
Based in Southend-On-Sea, Youth Club first caught people’s attention in May 2014 when they self released their debut EP ‘Colours’. It stormed the Official Independent Singles chart reaching No. 25 and charted at No. 7 in the iTunes Alternative chart. They are the first unsigned Essex band to officially chart right next to Adele.
Youth Club have received support from the likes of Chris Hawkins, Tom Robinson (6Music), XFM, BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, Balcony TV and Fresh on the Net.

Brand new ShadowIcon EP is more than
‘Smoke & Mirrors’
Innovative double CD release features a 2nd CD of instrumental versions out March 16th
Born and raised in Slovenia, ShadowIcon are a six piece melodic metal band with a heavy impact and a compelling lead female vocalist. Taking elements from metal and thrash, but marrying them to a tuneful vocal and a great appreciation for a stylish groove, the band serve up a potent blend of heaviness on new EP ‘Smoke and Mirrors’.
Their previous album ‘Empire in Ruins’ picked up excellent reviews around Europe and the US, now they’re back with a brand new EP totalling six epic songs, plus instrumental/karaoke versions so fans can sing along at home.
For a taste of what ShadowIcon are all about, check out their moody video for EP track ‘If I Was the One’ which is out on March 9th.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6DBqpK6Maw
Mixed and mastered by Charlie Bauerfeind and Thomas Geiger (Helloween, Blind Guardian). Designed to build on the new, melodic metal sound of the debut album, the songs are a fusion of different tastes and styles from the band’s three songwriters, all blending into great cocktail of pounding drums, searing guitars and piercing vocals.
With over 50,000 fans already on Facebook, this is a band who have already come a long way. And, judging by this EP, there’s nothing that can stop them any time soon.
The ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ EP is out March 16th.

RADAR - NME MAGAZINE
Released on CD and as a digital download 'Come At Me Now' is the highly anticipated new single from King Kartel, a band renowned for their infectious indie-infused rock.
Formed in September 2012, King Kartel wasted no time in taking the UK and Ireland by storm through a successful tour to support the release of their debut single Stone Cold Killer, which has now racked up an impressive 29,000 views on Youtube.
The quartet, mainly hailing from Northern Ireland quickly caught the attention of Riggsy from the BBCs Across the Line who gave Stone Cold Killer plenty of airplay, heralding them as hometown heroes, a claim justified by a string of sold out shows in and around Newry.
Riggsy describes the band as having an eye for a hook! and Philly Taggart from BBC Radio 1 says King Kartel produce cheeky guitar pop in the vein of The Fratellis and The Courteeners.
'Come At Me Now' prove the King Kartel aren't afraid to embrace their pop sensibilities which combine with their indie rock sound to create a storming single which is set to raise the profile of the Manchester based band even higher.
