Well folks, it’s been exactly 48 hours since the last ‘on the radar’ playlist dropped, I am slowly making my way through the tracks that I have received and by the start of April, I’ll be back on track and maybe able to drop back to pushing them out every 3-4 days, we’ll just have to see!

On this one, we have a broad spread of tracks from artists all over the world, from Coventry to Liverpool, from Alberta, Canada to New York City, we certainly do clock up the air miles and who knows, maybe one day we’ll be eligible for a tour of a departure lounge (though I would much prefer a return first class trip to NYC for a weekend break!)

As for new music received this week, there have been a great number of tracks land on my doorstep and I am showcasing 9 of them on this playlist, hit the ‘Play’ button below and let the sounds take you away to another place for the next 30 minutes or so.

Ahead of The Great Estate Festival which takes place from 2-5 June 2022, we caught up with the frontman from Electric Six, a band that have bought us classics including ‘Gay Bar’ and ‘Danger! High Voltage’. We chatted about how they stayed sane during the lockdown, touring, festival survival and their latest album of cover versions. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, for your viewing pleasure, Mr Dick Valentine….

"Fresh and funky." - Sunday Times Culture
"Luscious strings, big melodies and glittering disco beats." - Telegraph
"Lush and romantic...you may not be leaving your own postcode this summer, but Europiana will make you feel as if you've got away from it all." - Mail On Sunday 4*
“A bold new sonic direction...Europiana is fresh and spontaneous.” - Sun SFTW 4*

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriters Jamie Lawson, Gemma Hayes, Richard Walters and Laura Zocca join forces for a special acoustic round show, unlike any other gig you will go to this year. Each artist will perform a song, followed by the next act, the show will move around from artist to artist, like a tag team of traditional singing troubadours! The show will feature familiar songs plus original brand new music from each of the acts.

With the sun at its peak a weary desert traveller picks their way across the soft sandy floor trying to forget a lost love or maybe a past best forgotten. Crystal clear guitar lines drift in and out as the bass weaves and snakes over a tight drum beat. Tessa Murray croons steady as a pulse, as the song winds like a caravan toward the orange horizon.

UK & EU tour announced

Today (1st March 2022) marks the release of the debut album from Devon based quartet RED STITCHES.

To celebrate the release, we caught up with the band a few days back to chat about how the band came to be, home recording techniques, dream festival lineups, dinner party menus and musical influences. For all of this and way more, read on…..

To celebrate the forthcoming release of the album and as an excuse to have a chat with them both (it’s been far too long!), I thought it would be good to create a Q&A session with the ladies from SOTS, we did just that and covered some interesting topics such as the creation of the new record, how they managed to rope in Saul Davies from the famous band JAMES (Sit Down, Come Home etc…), which places and venues they’re excited about playing and most importantly, how they’re preparing themselves (well, their livers) for the Mad Dog Gypsy Caravan Weekender….

Looking at the new music that I have curated recently for the musomusofm on the radar playlists, it’s as if Summer is already here, the quality is incredible and best of all, there are HUNDREDS of tracks queued up for future playlists as the weeks go by so make sure that you subscribe to our Spotify channel to stay on top of the wave!

SHARE LEAD SINGLE & VIDEO FOR ‘STILL’

Acclaimed American singer songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman has signed a new worldwide artist deal with Cooking Vinyl, ahead of the release of her upcoming fifteenth solo album - ‘CrazyTown’ out this autumn – available for pre-order now.

"Having only been releasing music for a short amount of time, Future Cavemen already sound like music legends. Immersive and original – what’s not to like?" - CLOUT

“Rich and frenetic rock sound that is steeped in lyricism and political commentary” - YORK CALLING

"Huge! I feel the love for that band already. Just one of those bands that we need to keep our eyes and ears on. It feels nicely produced, carefully planned to lure you in and make you a fan of theirs before you're even aware of it.” - Adam Crowther BBC RADIO BRISTOL

After two cancellations, the expectant hardcore Stranglers fans were well up for the show in Bristol and anyone who hadn't been blown away by storm Eunice, were certainly blown away here for a sold out night of musical entertainment laid on by the headliners and their brilliant supported act Ruts DC.
