Max Pope’s ‘Less than nothing’ sits somewhere between the realms of easy-listening John Mayer and slightly more rocky old Maroon 5 ‘Songs About Jane’. A chorus-drenched guitar tone instantly grabs your attention and builds anticipation for what will follow. We are rewarded with a laid back Steve Jordan style groove, creating a warm texture for the vocal to […]
This week’s Artist of The Week is London band PUMAROSA, chosen by Live Nation. Their track Priestess is a rousing 7 1/2 minute affair that builds throughout, touching on a number of different musical genres and climaxing with solos from saxophone and guitar. Instrumentation in the verses is stripped back allowing the vocal space to glide over […]
Artist of The Week are Seramic, chosen by Jolyon at Charmfactory PR. Seramic’s track ‘People Say’ is drenched with soul, showing similarities to early Curtis Mayfield, juxtaposed with a more modern electronic production twist. Definitely worth a listen! Jolyon said: “Something that really caught my eye over the festive period, was Seramic. A somewhat mysterious outfit/person. They […]

Model Man’s slightly left field instrumental track ‘Autumn Thieves’ caught our attention for this week’s ‘Artist Of The Week’. What starts out as an innocent sounding solo piano track ends up crossing genres, experimenting with minimalism and ambient electronic.
