This new release comes highly recommended to any listener who enjoys music that feels energetic, yet also atmospheric - and perhaps a bit unpredictable too! The deeper you get with the listening experience, the more surprises and “ear candy” moments you will uncover, making this song quite special and one-of-a-kind.

What makes this new single stand out is the unique intensity of Mark Westberg’s performance, in tandem with a world-class approach to production. The artistry here is truly outstanding, and you really can’t go wrong in terms of channeling some of the very best features of songwriting this modern artist is all about.

Friday 28th October - Sunday 30th October 2022

I don’t know about you but I’m sat here, in my office, wondering what day it is….there are still more chocolates in the cupboard and the thought of a turkey sandwich doesn’t appeal to me anymore in the slightest! Yes folks, it’s the week between Christmas and New Years and to be honest, I am really enjoying it. It’s allowed me a few days to sit back, rest up and get ready for the onslaught that is Tuesday 4th January!

In the meantime, I thought that I’d have a poke about n the interweb thingy and see which bands and artists have recently released new music, there were many, so many in fact that I created a shortlist of 25 and had to eliminate 15 to get to the top 10, talk about a tough task!

What you see below are 10 tracks from bands and artists from all over the world who I feel that YOU should be aware of. I don’t expect you to drop everything to go and learn everything about the artists or band, just spare 30 minutes of your time and even if you decide to explore 1 of the 10 acts, that means that someone out there is spending some time, learning about a band or an artist that they had never heard of before!

As I sit here on Christmas Eve waiting for the big day to come, I thought I’d put myself to good use rather than watching ‘The Good Life Christmas Special’ from 1978 by creating yet another ‘on the radar’ playlist.

I was inundated with some quality tracks and as usual, I have dug deep and managed to curate a collection from around the world, hope you enjoy them!

As I sit at my desk waiting for the festivities to begin (it’s 22nd December), I thought I’d curate another 10 track playlist for our ‘On The Radar’ series for you to enjoy!

As usual, I listen to tracks from all over the world before agreeing on who has made the cut, yohristmas songs in here at all….

After attending a few shows over the weeks leading up t this show, I was waiting to hear the dreaded news that all live music was cancelled and shows would have to be postponed until after the new year, we crossed everything and JUST about managed to get away with it as the tour was put on ice a couple of days after this show.

Tonight’s entertainment would take place at The Great Hall, part of the Exeter University complex, I swear that I saw The Charlatans here back in the 90’s, maybe it was The Lemon Grove down the road but either way, it didn’t feel like nearly 30 years had passed!

Welcome to the second instalment of the musomusofm on the radar new music playlist.

It’s not been long since the first playlist was published but as the new music has been coming in thick and fast, I wanted to share another 10 bands or artists that I have heard that I feel need to be heard by a wider audience.

In a small pub in the Cotswolds, the arrival of Beans of Toast into Stroud, and most importantly the lovely gem that is the Prince Albert, was a welcome highlight in a world where we continue to walk the tightrope between lockdown, no gigs, and a Christmas with nothing more than me and the cats, the dog and my apple trees!

“Euphoric, chiming songs of wide-eyed wonder. A major new songwriting talent.’ – The Scotsman
“A beacon of originality in a tiresome sea of dross.” – Time Out

Islands is his brand new track that is due to be released on 14 January 2022 and is the first that he has recorded with his new band member Lee Croad. He admits that they started working on the track in November 2020 and took a whole year of writing, re-writing and adding new song structures, “It was a nightmare. I just wanted the lyrics to be perfect and I can't begin to describe how many times I had writers block trying to do this song” said Ollie of the track.
