In this episode, we feature an exclusive interview with Jack McLeod from the Scottish Indie band The Rah’s. Also featured are premieres and previews from Julian Shah-Tayler, JPDL & Yogi Beats featuring Rider Shafique, Kirlian Camera, Kurtis Hoppie, Vix20, Pat Fulgoni, Pinhdar, and Sunlust.<\/p>\n
Fronted by the charismatic vocalist Jack Mcleod and featuring Jordan McIntrye (lead guitarist), Neale Gray (drummer), Lee Brown (bassist), and Jack Miller (keyboard\/ guitarist), The Rah\u2019s are an alternative rock band from East Lothian, Scotland.<\/p>\n
Over the course of their career, the bands striking live performance style and electric sound have led to them touring across Britain and Ireland, capturing the curiosity of fans with their early releases.<\/p>\n
Having supported the likes of The View, Chris Helm, and The Fratellis and with Radio X presenter Gordon Smart highlighting the band as one to watch on the Scottish Music Podcast \u2018Telt\u2019, the band is going from strength to strength, and The Rah\u2019s are beginning to make their mark on the UK music industry.<\/p>\n
After spending over a year in the studio, the year ahead is set to be the best yet, with The Rah\u2019s due to tour up and down the country ahead of the release of their debut album. Not to be missed.<\/p>\n
LINKS:<\/strong> Julian Shah-Tayler has today premiered his new song titled \u2018Melt\u2019. This track, to start off, is a darker and mellower turn in Julian\u2019s personal \u2018evolution of revolution\u2019. Featuring a more sensual vocal styling and an ethereal accompaniment, the hook is a bit more subtle yet just as powerful and signature in that singularity sort of way. Almost in the realm of Pink Floyd at times, but not enough to be noticeable to the casual listener. \u2018Melt\u2019 is a song that will endear you without trying. Captivate without realizing. Evolve without involving. This is music.<\/p>\n Check out our other features with Julian Shah-Tayler HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n LINKS:<\/strong> JPDL & Yogi Beats release their new video for the track titled \u2018Madness\u2019 featuring Rider Shafique. The track is a smooth blend of syncopated dissonance combined with beat-laden jazz style fusion-funk and a suave and varied percussion.<\/p>\n The meaning behind the music is the madness in the mental. A perfect fit for this era of isolation. What is mental illness but that final desperation in coping with the seemingly un-copable. What we often forget is that the end is never the end but the segway to a new beginning. This is the brilliance within the beats of \u2018Madness\u2019.<\/p>\n LINKS: JPDL<\/strong> Played Out Records<\/strong> Rider Shafique<\/strong> Kirlian Camera<\/a><\/strong> has released their new video for the track titled \u2018The 8th President\u2019. While maintaining their dark presence that has become a signature for Kirlian Camera over many years, they have also brought forth an original, almost dystopian visual and audio aesthetic within the video that demands attention. Think of the movie \u2018Blade Runner\u2019 when I say this. It\u2019s almost world-building.<\/p>\n The tack is all that one would expect from Kirlian Camera and, in some ways, more. There is a brooding, slow-burning underbelly to \u2018The 8th President\u2019 that, in some ways, reflects the current state of isolation and loneliness brought on by the current state of the world. Reflective of the things that are, Kirlian Camera gives a soundtrack to this that leaves more questions than answers and, while most current creativeness shows us what we could be, this shows us what we are. Brilliant.<\/p>\n LINKS:<\/strong> Kurtis Hoppie has released his new video for the track titled \u2018Vegan Burger\u2019. A unique track featuring Kurtis\u2019 original rap cadence and lyrical phrasing way left of the creativity side, \u2018Vegan Burger\u2019 transcends the rap genre into pop with a killer sense for songwriting proving that a hook can be a monster.<\/p>\n The video is a story with heart and a visual with art and fits perfectly to the beat of the track. A video track for the sound.<\/p>\n LINKS:<\/strong> Vix20 has premiered their new video for the track titled \u2018Broken Melody\u2019. Taking a large detour from tracks past, Vix20 shows a lighter side of originality with a retro-hook-filled melody-induced track with tips of the hat to the likes of Christopher Cross, Pink Floyd, and more. Sound like an original mix? You have to listen to find them, but they are all there. This is as much a classic approach to songwriting as it is a time-honored way to lay a track down.<\/p>\n The video gives that lucid memory to the graphic artists of old that worked on such classics as \u2018Heavy Metal\u2019 and \u2018Animalympics\u2019. Given the music-heavy tinges of those two classic films, it\u2019s easy to see where Vix20 gets some of its influence. And that influence is worn on the sleeve on the jacket of originality.<\/p>\n LINKS:<\/strong> Pat Fulgoni (Kava Kava<\/a><\/strong>, Cabinet of Millionaires<\/a><\/strong>) has released his new live album titled \u2018Dark Side Of The Blues\u2019. Featuring a stellar lineup of musicians from the Czech area, at gives a sturdy repertoire of standards and favorites from the golden era of the blues with the conviction of a bluesman who sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads and never looked back. Each musician gets a turn in the spotlight as this is a showcase for a new band in the making only waiting for COVID to end to get busy with the blues. Magnificent.<\/p>\n LINKS:<\/strong> Pinhdar has released their new album titled \u2018Parallel\u2019. Angelic and operatic vocals soaring over lush and vivid soundscapes would be the immediate way to describe Pinhdar. Cecilia Miradoli and Max Tarenzi, the minds behind the music of Pinhdar, make music that is much deeper than that, though. There is a soul to \u2018Parallel\u2019. And a personality. Almost on the level of a concept as much as an album, \u2018Parallel\u2019 is, at times, a concept opera with the songs relating to chapters of a bigger, coherent piece. A \u2018theater of the soul\u2019, if you will.<\/p>\n The album gives you enough diversity to take what you want and bond with what you will. This is brilliance as an art form.<\/p>\n Check out our other features with Pinhdar HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n LINKS:<\/strong> Sunlust is set to drop their new album titled \u2018Geek Confessions\u2019 on April 12th. The album is a solid set of hooks harking back to when alternative was still alternative, and not he mainstream. Quirky at times and gritty throughout, Sunlust leave the garage door open and lets the neighborhood soak up the goodness ringing out of the garage.<\/p>\n The album is set for release on April 12th alongside a special edition pressing of 180g Vinyl. The band is looking forward to getting back out to play live, moshing with friends, and tearing up the stage!<\/p>\n LINKS:<\/strong> Click HERE<\/strong><\/a> to watch Season 7 of Jammerzine\u2019s \u2018The Week in #Indie\u2019.
