Sam Nicholas’ C-86 inspired brand of post-punk, ‘corrections’ began in 2013, when he was studying to become a teacher in QLD, Australia. His debut LP, ‘Idolatry’ was recorded in Townsville, QLD, at around the same time as music was becoming a ‘way of life’ instead of a passing obsession.
Recognising his music was not built for the humidity, he relocated to the UK for inspiration and full-time employment. His sophomore LP, romantically entitled, ‘Birdsong’ is a summation of his up until this point and all the beauty and complications that come with leaving everything behind.

Paul Johnson and The About Last Nights – Missing You
Hattiesburg, Mississippi-based Power Pop / Alternative Rockers Paul Johnson and The About Last Nights have released the Official Video cover of the classic John Waite hit single “Missing You.”
Paul Johnson & The About Last Nights may be from Mississippi, but this isn’t your traditional “southern rock. Singer/Songwriter Paul Johnson and Drummer Zack Lewis had a vision in mind, which was to play songs people want to sing, a kind of “Power Pop”, with the emphasis on “Power.” They unified on the principle of a “song first, honest music” mentality. High-energy rock n’ roll that draws from their influences like Cheap Trick and the Foo Fighters and at times the band recalls the performances of Weezer and Sloan in full-on rock mode, but never neglecting the art of the power ballad. This is a band with a purpose, which is to make great music and have fun doing it and their live show prove that with reviews like:
“Potent AC/DC-ish riffage kept aloft by crisp Tom Petty-ish harmonies, a passel of radio-ready rock songs built to appeal to everyone from fans of Pyromania-era Def Leppard, the anthemic paces of Smashing Pumpkins as well as the music that erupts from Active Rock radio today .”
— Mik Davis,The Chronical“Passion, the new music, and Live show are an example of that! I look forward to seeing/hearing people’s reaction to this great music from this great Rock n’ Roll band!”
– Kevin Mckay, WKSM.COM, 99ROCK“Really, it’s adolescence. Being young, bored and hopeful that one day things will be whatever we make it, but right now is all that matters. Looking back as adults, we sometimes see that maybe those were the best times of our lives. Getting through those years feels like an eternity, but in the grand scheme of things, it is only a moment.”
– Paul JohnsonTheir Debut Album\EP Give Up The Ghost is on the way. Their new single and music video “Burn It Down” will be released March 2017. Recorded in Atlanta, Georgia at RCRD Recording Studios and engineered by Dan Dixon (Pls Pls, The dropSonic) with 1st engineer Patrick McConkey, and produced by Tuk Smith of The Biters. The band’s debut video and first single, “Burn It Down” was directed by Rahim aka “Video Rahim”, with videographers Chance White, Matthew Hurley 2nd, and Ashley Simpson as Producer. Special effects makeup and creature by Shane Morton from Silver Scream FX Lab.

She Made Me Do It – Fun And Games
That perfect blend of dark, dirty, dance, and dirt is what you get with She Made Me Do It and their new single titled ‘Fun and Games’. The track grits your teeth as it grabs your gravy and forces you on the floor with moves that may embarrass you but enrapture your entourage. Beauty is a bitch and she made me do it.
‘Fun and Games’ was produced by Will Crewdson and mixed to perfection by the legendary John Fryer (Depeche Mode, This Mortal Coil, Fad Gadget, Love and Rockets).
The single will be released on all major streaming and download platforms on 6th September 2019.
About She Made Me Do It
Stylish and powerfully intense London outfit She Made Me Do It present their new single ‘Fun and Games’. A slamming, instant Electro Rock classic with heavy pop sensibilities.The sultry vocals of Shaheena Dax (Rachel Stamp) underpin the whole 3-minute rush while Will Crewdson (Rachel Stamp/Adam Ant band) thrashes away on guitar as a man possessed.
Shaheena and Will met when they both played in the Rock band Rachel Stamp. Bouncing song ideas off each other in that band it seemed natural to carry on as Shaheena moved from the keyboards to lead vocals and bass. Two albums, various EP’s and singles later they have sharpened their sound into a killer aural punch which is embellished by the addition of Joe Holweger – also from Adam Ant’s band – on drums.
