 Eric & The Soo Moneytown Eastside Confectionery Records Toronto They're back with yet more brilliance, Eric & The Soo return from the Lincoln County Social Club studio with another burst of quality sound. Featuring Ken Yoshioka on electric guitar, Julian Fauth on keyboards, Tim Bradford with the bass, Dino Naccarato on drums, James McKie on violin, and fronted by Eric Brombacher on acoustic guitar and vocals, Moneytown hits the high-street. Where has the soul of our communities gone? Recent trends have pushed us all online and that's pushed many home-built businesses out of the window. Replaced by chain-stores and conglomerates, the monopoly of locality is becoming stronger. It really is up to local and national officials to make it worthwhile for folks to set up shop where the value can be measured in community spirit. We totally agree. Let's listen to the song and see what Eric & The Soo really think. It opens with a cheeky riff that schmoozes into the air with a dash of keys, drum, and bass. Eric enters with his synonymous sound as the band deliver a groovy and inventive foray of catchy licks. Harmonising notes flicker and dance as the band enjoy the loose yet expertly designed fabric of melody. Lyrics describe the sense of upside-down priorities that dominate where we live. A country folk swagger keeps the flow moving at a delicious pace while expert craftsmanship brings subtle progression with jazz-like fills that keep us guessing and entertained.

Obsession England & Germany George and Rumen parted ways after playing together in a band when they both lived in Bulgaria. George moved to London and Rumen to Germany and that seemed to be that for their sound. 2022 brought changes, however, when a chance phone call brought them back together for an experiment in making more music. One song turned into another, and another, and it wasn't long before they'd written an entire album. Naming themselves after the radio phenomenon that swooped over us during the 20th century, we know there's still a massive market for listeners who prefer to hear other people's choices. They're aiming for the sky, too, with the addition of professional drummer Julio Baterista the trio make a force that can't be silenced. Their new single is Obsession and the band have set their sights for Anfield and Liverpool FC where they hope manager Jurgen Klopp will hear the single and agree to play it on a match day. Let's hope he reads Sound Read Six. Bouncy blues inspired guitars and bass crash through a wall of drums and begin to rock. Melodies and harmonies brightly shine in rhythmic bursts as the first verse enters on wings. A slight vocal effect twists the human tone into compressed and punchy points of verbal sound. Layers of tone elevate the sound and rise with the passing lines. Frills of secretive riff sparkle within the wholesome drive as the mood is lifted through punchy and powerful projection. A true rock n roll vibe is crafted through this imaginative and dynamic composition.

Written to celebrate Dante's Inferno, the album of the same name takes us deep into the realms of punishment and damnation by visiting each of the sins. Comprised of music therapist and vocal performance graduate Ravensea, Sean Gallows and award-winning DJ Scott Dispel from Face Value and TEXTBEAK, a huge scope of talent and experience focuses into this one headliner project. From playing in 90s hardcore bands to strutting the clubs in full goth attire, this group of musicians bring both image and skill to the same page. Mastered at The Cage Studios by Attrition's Martin Bowes, known for working with Steven Severin, Psychic TV, and Nine Inch Nails, the new album is already rightfully marked for long-term success. Dreamy piano calms a storm as Ravensea enters with lush vocals. Melodic lines trail up and down through pitch-perfect harmonies with the ruminations of key. Progression pushes the passion further as the mix reveals extra layers with dapples of illumination that brighten over gradual bars. Like a dark Disney, an iconic female lead manifests imagery of nightmare and sadness. Poetic lyrics sail across rippling waters as the musical boatman silently punts the barge onward. Dreamy and submerging, the sound of the song sits perfectly in balanced and cushioned thrones and silver and bone.

Her country-pop singer-songwriter style brings warm and fuzzy feelings whenever she's on. A real talent, Chloe Collins was a born performer. Singing and dancing before she could properly walk and learning the guitar from the age of 8, now as a young woman Chloe Collins brings her years of practice to the stage and studio. Likened to early Taylor Swift and clever like Ed Sheeran, Chloe's previous music has been featured on TV and the radio all over the world. Her new single, Devil I Know, follows on and continues the phenomenal story of this great artist. Sombre keyboard brings a moody atmosphere before Chloe Collins begins with a jazz inspired melody. Soulful bursts of emotion and song sway together with ensuing strings and piano. Bass begins to thump alongside as the melody progresses into further manoeuvres. A chorus breaks free as the snare hits with elastic snap as the melodic sounds swagger in orchestral style. A story of relatable lyrics continue a wandering journey through emotive and personally touching words. We feel the artist, we sink into the music, the piece works a series of magical outbursts through manicured and expertly controlled expression. You can follow Chloe Collins on Facebook and Instagram  The Last Siren Stranded Here Alone Criminal Records UK The British South Coast is home to The Last Siren. With a keen professional background, Jayke Turl has been playing in bands for years. Touring regularly as part of his many projects including bassist of The Smokin' Prophets and guest guitar player of The Kut, The Last Siren makes waves of his own with his unique sound. Inspired to make it loud by classic artists such as Murderdolls and Wednesday 13, The Last Siren has already enjoyed airplay on Kerrang! and across the USA. His ethos of breaking down the blind dogma within society brings Jayke Turl to write punchy and emotionally grinding metal. Shadowy guitars begin to bring about a distinctive melody before The Last Siren enters with his casual yet intense vocal delivery. The music coils up into a process of energy transition as distortion roars over drums and striking bass. A continual push of drums keep the surge moving at serious velocity as the lyrics merge and blend with each other across powerful pulses of rhetoric. Suddenly, the progression takes us through a new angle, blues lead guitar and ferocious attacks of sound run the music through a thick and fiery soundscape.

Black Market Karma In My Child Mind (A to E) Flower Power Records UK Shortly before the new album hits the airwaves, Black Market Karma eagerly release a track to keep us in the loop. Following on from the recent LP, The Technicolour Liquid Audio Machine, Black Market Karma have faithfully prepared Aped Flair & Hijacked Ideas as their next. Taken from the album, due at the end of the month, In My Child Mind (A to E) puts their sound in the headlights ready to be enjoyed. Black Market Karma's brand of psychedelic rock is built on a range of intriguing influences including Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Velvet Underground. Filmed in 2017, the accompanying video brings to life a fascinating journey undertaken in Japan. Celebrated director Louisa Pili filmed the entire piece which was then turned into a fancy music video by the band's Stanley Belton. Splashes of chord, bass, and drum condense into a spiralling sway of sound. Shimmering riffs with a fruity keyboard filling lean into one another as the vocal begins. A story of wandering builds with repeating psychedelia and subtle progressions. Elements of the 60s and 70s flow together with modern sensibilities. In between its verses the wash of music streaks from the focus to radiate the joyous and introspective composition into its own little world. The playful and adaptive merry-go-round ensues as the repetitive and hedonistic music takes a happy stroll though our mind.
