…COME OUT TO PLAY…

Some say there’s terror on the fairground, the euphoric suspense before stepping onto the ride, a clatter of swirling gears, and underneath the bigtop….Gazelle takes you on their new musical cyclone, Lady Blue Sky!  

The opening steam organ harks us back to heady psychedelic days as Gazelle’s new single embarks on a modern magical mystery tour.  And only in the last dizzying second does the terror show itself, calling us…“to come out to play”!

…See You In The Midday Sun…

Detonating with effect of a hydrogen bomb through the speaker wires, Rebel Run, the new single from Jay Tennant, shatters the calm and pierces the atmosphere from the opening electro riff.   This is the ride Mr. Tennant is taking you on, backed by a pounding drum line that never lets up and never lets you go.  It’s a ride laced with love, passion and rage, straight into the heart our dystopian post-modern world.

…I’ve Been Thinkin About You…

Sixty days since the release of Only Just Begun, in the middle of a headlining tour that sees the band ripping it up in Guildford tonight, and hey why not release a new single, so yea here we go, New Music Friday rolls again with Marseille 2.0 holding nothing back….Thinker!

…YOU’RE GETTING BETTER…

Bolton’s finest are storming back from the shed this week in support of WHYSUP and their mission to support mental health, addiction, and well being in Bolton, and let’s cut straight to the chase, the song is an absolute triumph, period!

…THE ROAD IS LONG…

2023 is here and there’re off, the lads from Derby are charging from single to single and strength to strength!  Two months since the release of Freedom, a single which capped off an incredible jaw dropping year for the band, and yes there are a few out there still lost in The Jungle, trying to find their way back!

LIGHTENING STRIKES!

Out of the coldest and darkest month of the year; almost forgotten between last year’s best of music lists, and the anticipation of Spring, January is often shuffled aside in forgotten to do lists, quickly broken resolutions, and plans for Summer holidays.  But despair not, the scene is industriously at work; planning, writing, recording and mastering, and out of the storm……lightening strikes!

REMEMBER THE SONG, FORGOT THE NAME…

When the party’s rollin’ it’s a blur, it’s a haze, the movement, the lights, the sound.  People steppin’ to you,….I wish they’d step off, yea one more round, I’m not leavin’.

SET SAIL WITH GAZELLE FOR ARCADIA!

Where do we begin…fourth release of the year, all unique and incredible as Gazelle themselves, each distinctly unparalleled in style, but this….this is something else!    

AND JUST WHAT IS IT YOU WANNA DO?  ….WE WANNA BE FREE….

After being lost in the Jungle for what seemed like a blurry, endless, hazy Summer, Marseille downshift into overdrive  and strike out for Freedom!

MIBBE THINK ABOOT…THAT FOUR ON FLOOR….

Rollin’ up to the back alley on the electro side of New Music Friday is the immeasurable. Fire Up The Sun with their new track Mibbe Think Aboot E

I’M AT A PARTY….

The original Rockstar himself returns to drop the second single release off of the new album Friday Night Rockstar, due on December 16th – Incredible.  This time our man in France morphs the axman power cords into a deep space, electro, downtempo groove.  Crusin’ in a Coop de Ville, Lewca takes us uptown, across 110th street, and brings us back….to the funkiness!

DEEPER AND DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE JUNGLE

Every time I think I’ve escaped it pulls me back, over and over and over again!

Yea that’s the Jungle, you know it, I know it, that groove, those congas, the funkiness, it’s infectious, and we’re all infected.
