VIX 20 return to Goosewing Music with the punchy new single “Try Again”. Following in the wake of previous power pop outings “Digital Age” and “Hashtag Change”, “Try Again” harnesses the thrills of rough-edged seventies pub rock songwriting and turbocharges it with twenty-first-century punk energy.
A complete back to roots for Vix after the electronica of their last single ‘Tron Takes the Train’. This was the first song CJ and Mills wrote together which paved the way for Vix 20 incarnation. The track was originally due out in April but Keyworker commitments kept the boys away from music and now more than ever ‘Try Again’ takes on a deeper relevance although originally penned as an homage to ‘Dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t’ keep patient, and try again!
Vix20 is Gary Mills and CJ, two music industry veterans who grew so disillusioned with the state of every element of the music industry that they both walked away vowing not to return…fast forward a few years, now rejuvenated, though no less prickly about the Modern Age, they return, to quote the band themselves, “we’re hard rockers turned to the dark side of pop”

Lord and the Woolf – Young
Lord and the Woolf have today released their new video for the track titled ‘Young’. That original vocal harmony is the first thing that grabs you, beautifully crafted over a varied pair of guitar licks and laid back steady beat. Add to that the lush scenery filmed locations and storyboard cinematic style, you have what you see; a pair of artists who have a vision.
ABOUT LORD AND THE WOOLF
Lord and the Woolf are made up of a pair of rascals from the North West of England – Joe Woolf and Sam Lord.
After previously touring with bands Chappaqua Wrestling, ‘Aquilo’, ’LOWES’, and ‘Shy Luv’, Sam and Joe decided to start their own project. With Joe conveniently being a producer, they took to his studio to hone and create their own unique style and sound. Their studio writing process and attention to detail spawned a dense and interesting production aesthetic, resembling the likes of ‘Alt-J’, ‘Bombay Bicycle Club’ and ‘Tame Impala.’
Following two previous singles including the euphoric ‘Etta’s Game’, this month will mark the release of their 3rd single ‘Young’ alongside a music video.
‘Young’ carries a narrative that highlights youthful lust and love, and how it can harness the power to distort our moral compass. At a point in everyone’s life, they must make a choice to either leave or stay in a life-defining moment.
‘Young’ is out now and available HERE.

Skyfever – Kings
