Well let me start this by saying this is a well written song. This starts off with a bit of finger picking on an acoustic guitar, a simple enough start and then vocals, bass and drums come in. It’s very steady, no little tricks to deflect away from the main body of the song… but …
Well! This exploded out of my main speakers nicely! The guitar riff at the beginning comes in distorted and put through an EQ to make it sound like it’s coming out of a little radio. At 0:10 the bass comes in with kick and hi hat playing around two notes… Then… BOOM! 0:19 the whole …
Tell us about Peachy Dukes, who’s in the band? Bon: You’ve got Bon (me) on vocals, Gerick (Gec) on guitars, and our dearly departed buddy bassist, Jimi. We’re also going to be bringing in our mates RB from Madeline (guitars), and Jesser from Conscious & The Goodness (keyboards) for future projects. Rb and Jesser were …
Congratulations on the release of “Duality” how does it feel? Thank you! It feels great! We’ve been working on this record for quite some time and are more than proud to finally show it to the world. It’s a 14 track project, what’s the story behind it? The idea behind the record was to do …
BODY WATER pose the question on their Spotify bio: “Why write about love when you can write about serial killers?” Well, why indeed? This is their debut single and it was on my shortlist as well as being in my Faves, it showed that in two years of being part of the Fresh On The …
I absolutely love this song. It came through via Fresh On The Net, and made it onto the listening post. It’s the lyrics. I mean, this lyrical ode to crisps kind of nails it! The singer talks about very passionately about how the person who he brought crisps did him wrong. References to Golden …
I’m liking the synth lead playing the melody, nice thing for the ears! This has a ska feel not as obvious as Madness, but the melody played by Ben Bainbridge recalls ghosts of “One Step Beyond”. This track switched between indie rock, to ska then reggae and it does it effortlessly, this band is tight …
I chose to feature this song on the blog not least because the PR behind it Sally Newman is someone I trust implicitly with my music tastes but because… Well, this song changes and keeps my ears tickled with some music goodness. What do I mean? Good question. Well, when it starts it lulls you, …
Big Brooklyn Everyone, Everywhere I first heard Big Brooklyn four years ago when they released the album ‘Purpose’ ( CD Baby 2018). It has been a wait for the next release. Their big sound is as classy as their presentation and their new release ‘Everyone, Everywhere’ is out on 18th March. Once again, they delight …
The way this song starts interested me, the arpeggiated guitars in triplets following the drums. It’s a rich track and got me head nodding, it’s moody as the title suggests but don’t be fooled, because Jacob’s vocals are so strong, nothing deadpan about it, and made me want to listen to him again, with that …
