Band Review 
KEYSIDE 




Take a pinch of the La’s, a sprinkle of The View, a dash of The Coral and mix  that concoction with a dab of The Lathams and you might just get a glimpse of what excellent new Liverpool band, Keyside bring to the table.

There’s already a load of people onboard the ride as their sold out show at The Arts Club/Loft on March 23rd attests to.

The band consists of  Dan Parker (vocals, acoustic guitar), Ben Cassidy (lead guitar), Oisin McAvoy (drums) and Max Gibson (bass, vocals).

They’re signed to  Modern Sky UK and already have a couple of classic songs under their belt

Visit

And

https://youtu.be/jzUwSyrsw2I?si=3I34VIVs7PWr9XYm for Turn Back the time.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure that these boys are destined for big things so get onto them now and try and see them while you can.

Their next (available) gig is Thursday April 4th at The Basement in Manchester

Element. single review

 


Band review, Element.

 

It’s been a while, but I’m happy to be posting something about a brand new Liverpool band.

The band in question are called Element.

 

They’re from Kirkby and the line up consists of 4 young lads , Jack Sim – Lead Vocals, Dylan Dwyer – Lead Guitar (and main songwriter), Harry Riley – Drums , Ben Wilkinson – Bass and Harry Forrester – Rhythm Guitar

 

They currently have a brilliant new song available on SoundCloud. It’s called “River in the Sky” And like the last new band we reviewed, a couple of years ago now, (the excellent Cheap Thrills) Element’s music belies their age, and the song drives along with a wonderful melodic pace, accompanied by a great vocal performance from Jack.

You can see that these lads have tons of potential!  Have a listen and make yer own mind up.

 

The song is available on soundcloud here River In The Sky by Element(soundcloud.com)

 

Give it a listen, give it a like,

John Mcglone.All the saints cant save us now.

 John McGlone - All the Saints can’t Save us Now.

 

A new solo release from the legendary frontman of Western Promise, John McGlone sees him continue to move towards a beautiful new soulful sound.

 

“All the saints can’t save us now” sees John flexing his vastly underrated vocal talents on a beautifully mellow track that evokes memories (to this humble narrator) of the Style Councils Long Hot summer era.

 

There are still echoes of the angst and anger that we have seen throughout his career as a songwriter (“So what happened to the loving.. and understanding we used to know.. and what happened to forgiveness.. lord where did it go. Because All I see is lies greed and cruelty, Hatred and bigotry right now.. we go to, Got to, Stand up for Equality, Shake the chains of slavery, Be the change you want to see somehow”)    but now we are seeing John move his talents to a newer more mature and accomplished sounding, soulful platform, and its every bit as effective and moving.

 

John is one of the regions most underrated singer / songwriter talents and has been consistently delivering amazing music over the last few decades and this solo effort is right up there with his best work.

 

Get this blasting on the drive to the beach, while the sun is raging.

 

Western Promise have taken a sabbatical, Long may McGlone reign in their absence!


*Release date August 27th . A Download will be available on itunes.
