Artist Of The Week – Drongo by Kartel Music Group

‘Artist Of The Week’ this week comes from Kartel Music Group in the shape of Drongo.

‘Miami’ is the debut single from Isle Of Wight-based duo Drongo. Creating a huge sound with minimal instrumentation, joining catchy vocal melodies with infectious riffs, the track is a grungy skater anthem. Described by Clash Magazine as a “beautiful abrasive sound”, the track has been making waves at radio following plays at BBC Introduing, BBC 6 Music and being added to the playlist at Amazing Radio, who described it as “an absolutely fantastic mix of lo-fi noise and delicate hooks”. A truly exciting start from this upcoming band. Take a listen:

Villanovas – Artist Of The Week by BAMM

The Bournemouth Academy Of Music have put forward this week’s Artist Of The Week in the shape of The Villanovas.

Their song ‘Honest Man’ is a guitar led rock-tinged tune. Whilst listening, I can’t help but draw references to 90s bands such as Blur and Supergrass, but Villanovas have given it a modern twist. Positive lyrics and a great guitar solo midway through keep your attention right to the very end.

Villanova’s will also be performing as part of our first live event in collaboration with Barclays Digital Eagles on 28th July 2016. It is a free event so if you are in the Bournemouth area come down and take a listen. For more information click here or see poster below.

Artist Of The Week – Goldbirds

This week’s ‘Artist Of The Week’ are London based Goldbirds. They were recently chosen to perform on a Richer Unsigned busking spot at Stonefree festival.

Goldbirds are hot on the scene and were formed early last year releasing weighty single after single. With a fusion of raw, heartfelt vocals and a sweet guitar riff as the basis of the song you can’t help but tap your feet when listening to their third single ‘Empire.’ You get into the groove of summer, with the festival feeling, sounding sweet online but certainly better live – keep an eye out for the delicious melodies and vocals provided by Goldbirds.

Artist Of The Week – Hannah Jane Lewis – By Tileyard

This week’s ‘Artist Of The Week’ is brought to you courtesy of Tileyard, a boutique management and publishing company. London based electro-pop queen Hannah Jane Lewis came to our attention a couple of years ago when she performed as part of our Record Store Days celebrations.

Her sound is is ethereal and melodic, with funky synthesised sounds mixed throughout. Her song “Why Start A War” is a fantastic listen from start to finish, with an immensely catchy chorus, beautiful vocals and that awesome synth effect flowing throughout the song. She’s definitely one to keep an eye out for, and well worth a listen!
