Song Listing and Links

Chadwick Station – Leaving it all to you
Chadwick Station are originally from London, now living in Nashville. Their Waiting for a Sunny Day EP was recorded in Nashville and mixed at Abbey Road Studio London, and released in February.

Tom Slatter -The Engine That Played Through Their Honeymoon
Tom Slatter is from London and this is from his third album called Three Rows of Teeth, released in March. I’ve listened to the whole album, several times. He describes it as “steampunk and sci-fi inspired prog-rock”. Bits remind me in a way of early Genesis, especially the three part The Time Traveller Suite which is the last three tracks on the album, and is twenty minutes long. The album is available at BandCamp.

The Cult of Dom Keller – Eyes

Its partially compiled from re-mastered and reworked versions of tracks previously included in the band’s self-released series of EPs,and it also features three unreleased recordings. Those four EPs are available from BandCamp.

Emily Capell – My Dad’s a Smiths fan
Emily Capell is from North West London, and this is the bonus track on her EP, which is available as a free download from ReverbNation. I love this because I am a Dad and I am a bit of a Smith’s Fan. When I emailed Justin for details, in his reply he copied in Emily’s email address, and a while later I got a reply from Andy Quirk who is her manager, who runs many things as well, such as the Hits Of The Near Future podcast, and I met him at PodCrawl last year. Nice when all these things come together.

Paradigms – The Long Way (D7 Urban Mix)
A duo from Dorset, specifically Poole & Bournemouth , who are Steve Beck and Lee Ditcher, Paradigms released their debut EP at the end of February, and this is a remix by D7 of one of the tracks. I’ve heard the original version, but actually prefer this remix. Find the EP from zimbalam.com or iTunes/Amazon

First Love, Last Rites – Young Girl
Now, I think this band might be Swedish. In fact looking at their Facebook page, they are from Umeå, in Northern Sweden. In which case we’ll treat them as Guest Artists. First Love, Last Rites (or FLLR) are signed to London based Indepenent label Heist Or Hit Records, this is a free download single from their second album Wasted Hearts being released on 15th April. You can find it on SoundCloud
