there are so many great guitar bands out there and this is another new band with their debut just released “Cheatahs” this track “The Swan” is among my favourite

the Olms are Pete Yorn and J.D King their debut album is out now ,recorded in his home studio in Los Angeles has a very Byrds feel.

A cover of Stevie Nicks” mainly because I love this song but check out Susanne Sundfor her two albums are just a fantastic listen the new album “The Silicone Veil” and the previous platinum selling “The Brothel” are exceptional for her vocal alone originally from Haugsound Oslo, you can hear her vocals with Royskopp and recently with M83.

Another awesome track from JOHN GRANT the Marz in connection was an Ice Cream Parlour in Johns Home Town so when he was a Youngster his parents used to take him here for Ice Cream and (green waters) being a Sprite drink.

I just love this song and is the most played track on my Ipod its just beautiful with amazing Lyrics, his Gorgeous effortlessly Rich Vocal, Heartbreaking Lush Melodies.
The whole world needs to listen to the album “Queen of Denmark”

Among the crop of new UK bands Circa Waves are from Leeds and have a collection of great songs with wonderful melodies and ringing guitar tones…….

First time I heard this band I thought they were American mid west but then I found out they come from Hampshire South Coast UK.. Check out the EP “Devils Pope” recorded at the famous RAK studios

Minor Alps, songs are “I Don’t Know What to do with My Hands” , “Maxon”, “If I Wanted Trouble”, “Far From The Roses” the band are Matthew Caws from Nada Surf and Juliana Hatfield from Blake Babies just about to play some UK dates
