Founding DMW member Kirk Brandon (Spear of Destiny/Theatre of Hate) will once again be joined by heralded rhythm section Segs and Ruffy from The Ruts on acoustic bass, percussion & vocals, and completing the line up will be Jake Burns, legendary frontman of Stiff Little Fingers, who will bring his guitar, songs and stories.

London rockers OPENSIGHT have completed a new video for their cover of “Thunderball”, just in time for the new James Bond film “No Time To Die”. The track, which is set to feature on their upcoming album ‘Mondo Fiction’ which is set for release in early 2022. The album was produced by frontman Ivan Amaya and was mixed and mastered by Will Maya (The Answer, Breed 77, The Heretic Order, Panic Cell, The Morage, Adrian Smith).

Squid are a quintet made up of Ollie Judge (lead vocals, drums), Louis Borlase (guitar, bass guitar, vocals), Arthur Leadbetter (keyboards, strings, percussion), Laurie Nankivell – (bass guitar, brass, percussion) & Anton Pearson (guitar, bass, vocals, percussion), their style is something else but draws heavily on a blend of Post-Punk, Krautrock and New Wave, I like to refer to it as ‘Post-Kraut-Wave’, I might see if they’d like to use that in their future promotional material….

In preparation for their winter tour of the UK, musomuso caught up with Dr Alex Paterson, the driving force behind ambient electronic outfit The Orb, to discuss - amongst other things - the early success of the group, the process of songwriting and sampling, their plethora of remixes, what songs he'd love to play on the upcoming live dates and what the future holds for "Dr. Alex" and friends.

Released on 5 November exclusively on Dig!

25th anniversary tour rescheduled to November 2021

'Bold and different...Joni Mitchell, Roy Harper, a touch of Radiohead… stretches boundaries' - The Guardian

9/10 - ‘A stunning interpretation of contemporary chaos…a gorgeous whiplash of delirium and hazy reveries’ - The Line of Best Fit

★★★★★ ‘Mesmeric. Atmospheric. Totally beguiling’ - R’n’R (R2 Magazine)

‘Entrancing… songwriting of a real rich quality, all held together by an intensity of approach, by a focus on the emotional weight music can carry’- Clash Magazine

‘Extraordinary music...this is an amazing act’ - Bob Harris

This release is spot-on, not only giving Jonny the opportunity to explore music in a whole new way, but also allowing him to write music that feels catchy, yet personal and expressive at the same time. Instead of having to choose between mass-appeal and artistic integrity, Jonny expertly managed to achieve both end goals, creating something truly remarkable that will stand the test of time.

The album is heart-warming food for the soul, and it is attracting new listeners who are quickly discovering the wonders of Charlotte Champian’s music.

Having briefly caught INHALER at Cornwall’s Boardmasters in August, I was keen to catch them at a standalone show rather than on a festival stage and tonight was the night as they were playing at the O2 Academy in Bristol, read on to see how the evening panned out.

September 2021 - UK singer-songwriter Ellie Grace has developed a really unique and one-of-a-kind sound. Her music features so many lush atmospheric sounds, including some amazing guitars that are drenched in reverb and echo effects. The synth-y soundscapes and big drums of her latest release, ‘Better Off Alone’, are perfect complement to her vocals and what’s special about this song is the fact that it falls somewhere in between the intimacy and raw authenticity that you would expect from an indie rock song combining with the unapologetically catchy blend of mass appeal that you would look for in a great pop song.
