‘Save You’ is the latest single by Blind Season off of their upcoming album
Rock and Roll and turbulent relationships have gone hand in hand since the beginning of time. The origins of Blind Season are no different. Beginning with a rag tag group only forming through the means of owning instruments, and an evening involving the smashing of a mutual friend’s car, Blind Season had undergone 5 different incarnations until Shane Sigro the founding guitarist was faced with the ultimate decision between succumbing to normalcy or proving the previous members wrong. Choosing the latter, Sigro doubled down by taking vocal lessons and penning the new music that would breathe life into the new era of Blind Season.Blind Season’s upcoming album is an ode to loneliness and toxicity that feel as if they were ripped from Billy Corgan’s Diary and featured in a film by Tim Burton. With the current questionable climate of the world there’s no question that this album will find its proper home and become a sign of the times. Their latest single ‘Save You’ by Blind Season, musically is the simplest song on the album, but as a completed song it sat around for years. It’s about a long distance relationship that didn’t work out. It comes across powerfully though […]

Self taught musician VDXi has released his latest single called ‘Vulnerable Rebellion’ which takes the listeners on a journey of the senses through different musical styles
VDXi has released the latest single called ‘Vulnerable Rebellion’. The song starts off with a beautiful female voice and synthesiser that sounds like they could take you on an amazing journey.The guitars kick in at around 45 seconds and as soon as they do, this song starts to rock. What follows is basically a 4-minute guitar solo with plenty of pinched harmonics and just the right amount of ‘shredding’. Towards the end the lovely vocals start again, this time accompanied by the rhythm guitar and the drums. The guitars and drums are definitely giving it a nice rock twist. VDXi is a completely self-taught musician, using computer programming tricks and virtual instruments to communicate his stories through music.The artist has a wide range of musical styles and instrument emulations built into the music and this might not become obvious after you listen to just one song/composition, but it will become more apparent when you listen to more of them.

Singer Although a self-declared failed guitarist, James took to singing and ran a karaoke night with his brother John, whom James claims is the better singer. This resulted in James recording an album of covers of his favourite songs such as Johnny Duncan’s ‘Last Train to San Fernando’. In 2009 James penned his first song: “She Came Walking”. Happily married with two children, James is now a grandfather, which seems to be all the rage amongst Glastonbury’s headline performers. Dramatically James’ life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with a large brain tumour in the base of his skull, but this was successfully removed in 2011 by his hero and surgeon Richard Kerr. While in hospital, James first heard about Headway Oxfordshire, which supports change to people’s lives after a brain injury.

Annick delivers steamy hit for Europe’s clubs
“Give it to me” is the turbo-charged, wickedly erotic and risqué new single from Annick, stage persona of Tammy Pelchat from Ontario, Canada. Annick explodes onto the scene with her turbo-charged, wickedly erotic, debut single “Give It To Me”. Reminiscent of such old skool, funky, sleezehouse gems as Jamie Principle “Baby Wants To Ride”, Lil Louis “French Kiss”, and Laidback “White Horse” or the tongue-in cheek playfulness of the dance-pop, Eurodance and house of 20 Fingers with 94’s controversial “Short Dick Man.” “Give It To Me” drives it all home, as it adds some nu-flavour to the already spiced up mix of retro electro delight and oozes with raw sexual passion to become more erotic and controversial than Berlin’s “Sex (I’m A)” or Soft Cell’s “Sex Dwarf”. HOT AND SEXY Annick says, “if Give It To Me is a little too hot and sexy for your kitchen, there is even a few mixes that will politely douse the fires. It’s still deliciously erotic and seductive pop dance candy.” Accompanying Annick singles are scorching hot mixes from some of the biggest names in clubland. She’s working with three-time Grammy Award winners The Klubjumpers (known for their awesome mixes of Madonna, Mariah Carey […]
The Framed release EP after notable gigs and festival
The Framed are a 4-piece band from Aberdeen consisting of Glynn McGregor (drums), Gareth Burr (guitars), Steve Ross (rhythm guitar) and Jamie Reid (vocals and bass). The group formed due to a distinct love of all things musical driven by a desire to get out of working 9 to 5. Their music is upbeat rock with some punk simplicity, indie sensibilities and some sometimes naive and thoughtful lyrical content thrown in for a more Vindaloo type kick. The band have recently recorded their debut EP at Monnow Valley Studios with producer Paul Tipler and mastered it at Metropolis Studios with John Davis. With the release of the EP ” I Don’t Know “this month, their first festival performance already behind them and gigs plays over last few months, the future should be exciting for this band. “I Don’t Know” is the latest single from The Framed and will be released on 30 June 2014.
