John Dhali releases his new video for the track titled ‘In Time’. an upbeat video in a downtrodden time, John Dhali lightens the mood with a beacon of hope and harmony with his new song ‘In Time’. Visually, what I get at first look is that a mask can’t hide the heart and a pandemic can’t suppress the soul. And that soul sings with the glee of the moment and the movement of the momentum created by the drive of a musician representing this new decade of individual beauty.

Follow The Lion Premieres New Single Titled H.O.P.E. (The Week in #Indie Segment)
Follow The Lion officially drop their new single titled ‘H.O.P.E. (Hold On Pain Ends)’. A lear progression from their previous work, Follow The Lion gives a solid mix and master with a stunning lead vocal and lush set of guitars pinning beautiful harmonies. This song is thought out but done in such a way as to capture the moment that was being conveyed during the writing process.
Epic in scope and vivid in execution, ‘H.O.P.E.’ counted on faith and delivered originality. This is brilliant.
ABOUT FOLLOW THE LION
Follow The Lion are a Leeds (UK) based neoteric Alternative Rock group founded in 2013. Following the release of their critically acclaimed début EP ‘The Candy and Gravity Motel’ and its single ‘Candy and Gravity’ the band took an enforced two-year hiatus due to the ill-health of frontman Daniel Francis.
Follow The Lion are back for 2020 with a fresh new line up featuring singer/ guitarist Daniel Francis, dynamic lead guitarist Dylan Price, gifted bass player Quinton Wharton Junior and Brazilian-born, twice-golden, once-platinum award-winning Rodrigo Duarte on drums.
In March of this year Follow The Lion re-entered The Chairworks Studio to record their new single H.O.P.E. (Hold On Pain Ends) together with producer Steve Whitfield (The Cure, Terrorvision, Wire). The track is mastered by Grammy award-winning, Jonathan Wyner.
H.O.P.E. is a song about an ill-fated love affair, about integrity and ultimately the acceptance that some things in life hurt and that pain is unavoidable in pursuit of joy.
In response to the coronavirus crisis and worldwide lockdown, the band has chosen to release H.O.P.E. on April 17th and will be donating half of all sales directly to the NHS. The band announced this via social media asking fans, friends, and family to take part by filming themselves at home doing something that made them happy. The announcement video has had over 44.6k views to date and the response has been so staggering that the band has to delay the video release date by a week (April 24th).
The band intends to follow-up on the release of H.O.P.E. with two further singles and their début full-length LP ‘The Crone, the Thorn, the Lizard, and the Lighthouse’ in early 2021.

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

Exclusive: An Interview with Simon Mason of Hightown Pirates
Some people have the ability to take themselves to heights that others can only dream of. And still others have the uncanny ability to take themselves to heights that others can only dream of, after taking themselves to the edge of the abyss. And that gives some of us not only the ability to strive even harder still, but the reflection in which to appreciate the scope of such and achievement. Simon Mason is the later, to say the least. Just read his 2013 autobiography “Too High, Too Far, Too Soon”and you will see what I am talking about.
Fast forward to 2017. Simon, in record time, forms Hightown Pirates, writes and records a very solid album (review HERE), and generates a name for the band as one of the freshest in indie for 2017. That talent only comes with a deep personal reflection. And today we talk about that talent, and so much more with Simon Mason. Enjoy!
Hightown Pirates’ debut album, “Dry and High”, was released June 16th on Strike-Back Records.
Check out our news piece on Hightown Pirates on our TV show “Jammerzine’s The Week in #Indie” HERE and on Amazon Prime.
