Forgive me, for I have sinned – I have only just come across Billy Cullum and his hauntingly fantastic pop music. He sounds as if he’s in a church with organs being played like they’ve never been played before, I will go so far as to label him the male Florence Welch. Billy tell’s us to “watch the gargoyles taking over”, but I’ll confess that I’ll only watch them if they’re something like the one’s from The Hunchback Of Notre [...]
Kevin Wynter and Yemin McEwen make up The Chancery Lane and here is the fantastically tongue in cheek song ‘Rockstar Life’. As much as I’d like to say this song describes my hectic party lifestyle, I have yet to wake up with numerous party dweller’s in my bed (I’m actually quite pleased about that one but I am longing after that sexy car and to constantly be having lunches with movie stars.) So the story goes that the boys met [...]
Not going to lie to you guys, I am absolutely buzzing about writing this. I’ve been checking in regularly on George The Poet for quite a while now, and every single time I’m astonished. In an industry that rarely seems to show a lot of flexibility with genre or structure of music, George blows this all wide open. The 21 year old council estate born poet has quickly made a name for himself working with the likes of Emile Sandé, [...]
Having racked up an impressive 242,000 hits in YouTube in the last few months and gained a phenomenal combined Twitter following of 26K, Pop/R ‘n’ B four-piece RELICS definitely fall into that category of ones to watch. The band is made up of Jake Roche (lead vocals and guitar), Danny Wilkin (vocals and keyboard), Charley Bagnall (vocals and bass guitar) and Lewi Morgan (drums) from London, Blackpool, Southend and Bolton. They seem to tick all the boxes of a cool band – [...]
Jamie never fails to impress a new crowd and tonight was no exception. The beautiful tones and range grabbed the attention of the audience and immediately dropped jaws. The pianist took to the stage at The Good Ship and delivered a beautifully crafted set of her own originals. Her instrumental talent lived up to the beauty of her vocals and the 23 year old showed she’s destined for chart topping power ballads to begin what is sure to be a [...]
In my job it’s easy to become complacent with hearing new artists and letting it all become a bit mundane, on the upside there are artists like Jody Brock to take me by surprise. Jody’s a breath of fresh air to the industry, drawing influence from the likes of Donny Hathaway, Etta James and James Brown, his husky, dark voice makes for incredible takes on Emeli Sandé’s “Daddy” and Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games”. Recently supporting Vince Kidd, it’s fair to [...]
Now this little suave bunch of buggers I’ve had the pleasure to recently meet. When I say these boys are flying right now, I mean they are bloody soaring. The whole band has been comfortably together for a month, approximately 30 days, a tad over 700 hours. In these 700 hours they’ve got down some monumental tracks, they’ve had their first gig reach capacity and booked many more to follow it. I don’t think ‘on point’ really covers these guys. [...]
When sifting through endless e-mails, from time to time I receive something from an act that stands out from the rest. These boys are really down on the social media front and interact with fans really well. By really well, I mean to the extent that the hand delivered their fans tickets to gigs - that well. The four-piece have recently embarked on a week-by-week session update on YouTube, and it’s going down a storm. Tracks ranging from Kings of Leon to Fleetwood [...]
As you’ve seen James Craise is already more than worthy of a feature on our unsigned section, but building on the hype from recent performances all over London, he has worked with the incredible Reload Sessions to perform his take on Jessie Ware’s ‘Night Light’. Once again proving why he is one to watch, James brings a new dimension to the track, showing he has the range, skill and style to pull off a song of this magnitude. I can [...]
JETTA seems to have come storming in out of nowhere with her memorable and catchy track ‘Start A Riot’. Needless to say when I heard about JETTA, I jumped at the opportunity of writing the review. She brings a real sense of diversity to the table and expresses this in her tracks that range from influxes of rock/metal to a Florence type melancholic sound. Recently, supported by her 3 piece band she stunned a crowd of industry at her recent [...]
At only seventeen years old Blaise is getting the music industry talking. As an unsigned musician she has already had radio play from Capital FM, 1Xtra and Kiss, is followed on Twitter by Chris Brown and Justin Bieber and is set for big things with her new single release. ‘Attitude’ ft. Warner signed rapper Twizzle is an upbeat, high energy track you find yourself singing hours after you have listened to it. With awesome remixes and a vibrant video Blaise [...]
Rufio! Rufio! RUFIOOOOO! Summers absolutely smashes it again with an amazing rendition of Adele’s 007 track ‘Skyfall’. Rufio Summers has been flying recently, performing at our own ‘Play It Forward’ night, Shoreditch House, Proud Galleries, Cargo, Barfly, the list goes on. The buzz around Rufio’s new EP ‘Run With The Hunted’ is phenomenal and everyone is looking to the talented and diverse singer to build further on his successful debut EP ‘Over It’. With talent like this you have to [...]
A short film on London based drummer/DJ Josh McKenzie. Having played drums for most of his life and taking his profession to arenas, stadiums, TV shows and festivals, Josh explains how he always wants to keep ahead in his passion and with the help of his close friends is doing that through mixing songs at the same time as drumming. Contact: Info@reloadsessions.com This film is used for non-commercial purposes and filmed and edited in its entirety by Reload Sessions. Apart [...]
They always say don’t work with children or animals but James Bellamy seems to tame them with this inspirational track ‘Diamonds Refix.’ It’s impressive when any artist can put their own spin on a track, let alone a Ri Ri track and James does a banging job of making me forget the original. As the home of unsigned talent we couldn’t let it slide that James Bellamy is currently featuring in the MTV Brand New Unsigned for 2013 competition, so [...]
‘Baby Mother’ is a hard-hitting track that explores a relationship where the mother is giving her man grief, and there was me - 100 per cent expecting it to be from the baby mother’s perspective. Timer Geddon smashes the boundaries and spits about his girl playing games, using his child against him and altogether sounds like a bitch and a half, “telling me I’m this, telling me I’m that, saying that I’m worthless, I ain’t worth that”. I love a song with [...]
I’m not one to rant or complain but since I can remember there has been this quite prominent issue on the unsigned circuit that simply needs to be dealt with. I appreciate that music is a business to some people, however much they commend the talent and do what they can in the way of promoting artists and getting them on stage, quite often they do it all with £ signs in their eyes. So some smart arse came up [...]
So The Thirst, individually cool looking dudes. Together, 4 of the suavest, most talented, charismatic guys on the unsigned scene. After having the pleasure of meeting them recently, I checked out their debut EP “Laugh With The Sinners” available online at www.thethirst.co.uk, I was seriously impressed. What I love most about these guys, is their diverse upbringing and the fact that they don’t just draw influence from one particular genre, they get amongst it all. From Afro-Carribean to punk, throw [...]
From time to time I have the privilege of meeting an artist whose passion knocks me on the back foot. These moments remind me of why I do this, I leave them with a renewed feeling of obligation to do everything I can to give these unsigned artists the recognition they deserve. Liam is a prime example. He’s an artist that strives to better himself and knows there is a standard he’s striving for. It’s all well and good me [...]
