Chris Ising’s return this summer brings a brilliant reminder of the passionate, soulful sound he brings to contemporary country music.

Unique from the offset, Erica Lee Martin’s Take My Picture is every bit the artistic alternative anthem its artwork and title imply.
Blending delicate layers of detail that seem to take subtle influence from various genres, the whole thing offers a mildly tribal feel, with engaging rhythms that quickly prompt interest in a live show.
Lee Knox pours his heart and soul into this project, and his vocals prove faultless throughout – always emotionally in tune with the subject matter, always full of genuine passion and appreciation.
A breathless delivery, smooth & impressive yet relentless from start to finish, accompanies a creative soundscape, with flashes of production detail & effects that help build the intensity.
“My three ‘favourites’ were “Muppet Criminal”, “Hobbit Noodle” and “Schizophrenic Pineapple”… Can you imagine? “Ladies & Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Hobbit Noddle”.”
Really well done, a refreshingly original artist with a thoughtful way of framing ideas and arrangements.
Driving with an intoxicating sense of organised chaos, Manuel Muzzu’s album 3-Ree is an organic jazz-fest of bass-led, hi-hat-soaked funk and instrumental soul.
“We want to grow bigger in the Utah music scene so that we can get bigger opportunities to play bigger venues and to connect with bigger artists.”
Setting the scene with industrial soundscapes & fast-paced, forward thinking lyrics that pour through with a sci-fi, cinematic sort of prowess. Ultra_eko is the story-teller, technology is the enemy.
Studio C Addendum have effectively raised the bar with this audio experience and story-line. Not just an impeccable hip hop album for 2020, but a musical must for all who crave something different and decidedly interesting.
Beautifully done, a strong contender for mainstream airplay and a great way to bring together alternative & popular qualities, even the vastness of the world’s music, within a single catchy & empowering anthem.
