They know how to do bands properly in the North. Leeds lads THE DUNWELLS includes brothers Davie and Joe Dunwell on guitars and vocals plus school friends Adam Taylor on drums and Rob Clayton playing the bass. Having impressed with debut album ‘Blind Sighted Faith’, which saw them head out to Austin, Texas for the recording, and follow up LP ‘Light Up The Sky’, they continue their bid for world domination with impassioned new single ‘We Made Fire In The Pouring Rain’.
A promising taste of what is to come, the essential indie band look set for big things in 2019 with a third full length record expected to come.
TO THE RATS & WOLVES maybe new to the scene, but they are already known as the big new name in dance inflected metalcore. Having supported the likes of Asking Alexandra, Any Given Day and Black Veil Brides, they have benefitted from the prominent platform and picked up a growing fanbase along the way.
Their recent entry to the studio has led to their new single ‘Cheap Love’ which was produced by Simon Yildirim, mastered by Robin Schmidt and released by rising label Karma Recordings.
New York song writer LP returns with her fifth long player ‘Heart To Mouth’. Twelve tracks of powerful indie pop, this late entry could steal the mantle of “Album of the Year” at the very last minute due to her impassioned performance.
“When I get on the mic and start doing melodies, I can feel that direct line from my heart to my mouth. In the past, there was a city full of streets that needed my attention. Now, I feel like I have a major highway to communicate emotion from. Whether they’re sadder songs or big anthems, they all come from the same place.”
Norwegian producer Alan Walker is a young prodigy. Having proved himself with a relentless onslaught of incredible electronic singles like ‘Fade’, ‘Sing Me To Sleep’ and ‘Tired; he has been listed as DJ Mags top 100 DJs of 2018 and signed to RCA Records. He now releases his debut album ‘Different World’.
“I’m super excited. I never really thought I would end up in a situation where I would be releasing an album. I guess that’s the outcome of releasing a single every three to six months. At the same time that I’ve been working on that album, I’ve been able to kind of show a new side of myself as an artist. I can use my voice as an artist to speak out to my fans and followers. But other than that, I’m really excited about the upcoming album. I think it’s going to be pretty cool and there’s going to be a few new songs.”
