When creativity meets originality you have some damn good music. But that is a rare occurrence. So it is particularly pleasing to see it incarnate. And that is in the form of U.K. duo San Eco. Formed by the merging of Morris Cowan and Tom Edney, San Eco is the end result of two unique minds verging on musical brilliance.
And today we talk to one-half of that melting pot with Tom. And we get the origin story and creative process explained as well as a glimpse into the future of all that is San Eco.

Kids On Bridges – Just Because You Can
Fresh from a support slot with Grammy Award Winner Beck and shows with The Hot 8 Brass Band, Soulwax and Calvin Harris, the Liverpool trio unleash a new single ‘Just Because You Can’.
The track is a heavy pounding Stones groove akin to ‘Undercover of the Night’ with a Gang of Four riffs thrown in for good measure, giving Kids On Bridges a unique sound, one that is so fresh you could eat it!
The band’s versatility has seen them described as somewhere between Mutemath, Two Door Cinema Club , !!! and Daft Punk.
Kids On Bridges are currently heading back over to America where they are going to finish work on a brand new album and have drafted in Eagles of Death Metal bass player Jennie Vee to join them on a number of tracks, along with New Orleans poet Chuck Perkins.
Having previously worked with The Chemical Brothers producer Steve Dub, the new album promises to be a sonic assault!
Although the guys are certainly no strangers to having great guest performances on their releases, the last single ‘Say Ok’ featured New Orleans drumming legend Zigaboo Modeliste of the Meters.
The band also found themselves nominated for best Alt video at the Paramount Awards in Hollywood for the single ‘Something in the Water’.2016 saw the band head out to America to perform a sold-out show at The Viper Room after legendary station KROQ picked up the track ‘Walls’, they were also honored to be the UK representatives at last years Special Olympics in LA performing alongside Stevie Wonder.
With excellent performances at Wickerman, Bestival and Ibiza Rocks, the future couldn’t be looking brighter for the Wall of Sound champions!

Callow Youth Release ‘Did It Really Matter’ (The Week in #Indie Segment)
Teenage Mancunian indie gang Callow Youth has released their debut single “Did It Really Matter?” through all digital channels. The track is currently XS Manchester Radio‘s Record of the Week on their “XS Evening show”, so is played every night for the next week.
“The song is a reflection on tricky teenage relationships in a world captivated by mobile devices and social media, with two young teenagers going out for a night, with high expectations, only for it to end in a messy argument” explains frontman Alfie Turner.
Callow Youth is arguably the most hotly tipped young band to emerge out of Manchester in the past year and hail from the city’s suburbs of Ashton-Under-Lyne and Failsworth. Their catchy, melodic, original songs belie their age and time together – and the fact that most of them couldn’t play their instrument and had never attempted to write a song when the band formed less than 2 years ago.
The band are currently recording new tracks with Gavin Monaghan (respected industry veteran and acclaimed producer of The Blinders “Columbia” album as well as records by Robert Plant and JAWS) – they have material lined up for release throughout 2019, and plan a debut album release before the end of the year.
Callow Youth is:
- Alfie Turner – Vocals, Guitar
- Tom Hilton – Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals
- Nathan Wrigley – Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals
- Connor Wilkinson – Drums, Backing Vocals
