Posted on 21 December 2022

Urging us to lift our voices loud and proud to help all the lost souls, The Marsh Family sing with so much pure emotion and care on the hopeful reminder we all needed to hear on In the Bleak.

The Marsh Family is a Kent, UK-based indie pop band who rose to fame in 2020 with their much-loved pandemic parody songs.

”The family of six, from Kent in the UK, are versatile, earthy, and independent – putting their own unique twist on genres from musicals and folk to Motown and funk. Dubbed the “Von Trapped” family by the New York Times, they raised millions of spirits and smiles during lockdown, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live (2020), the BBC’s Comic Relief (2021), and spearheading a Christmas campaign for Prostate Cancer UK in December 2021. Their debut single that month was played on BBC Radio 2 and numerous regional stations.” ~ The Marsh Family

The world’s favourite Faversham family band are back and goodness gracious me, they are rather spectacular yet again. The Marsh Family sing with so much tender poise and meaning. In a seemingly plastic world, this humble fearlessness must be admired for its courageous energy.

Performed so elegantly, it’s hard to find a better song to portray the true feeling of the world.

Texas-based family band The Formerly Misinformed feel that slow drift apart with ‘Why When Where’

Posted on 13 February 2022

Taken off their wonderfully-received 10-track album ‘All In A Dream‘, The Formerly Misinformed send us their 3rd single off this new project with a track all about wondering what happened to that once-bright spark on ‘Why When Where‘.

The Formerly Misinformed is a Fort Worth, Texas-based indie-alternative rock 4-piece family band that make a loving blend of authentic music that is nostalgically genuine.

”Stylistically, their music is rooted in sadness and isolation; themes they admit are often part of their favorite music.” ~ The Formerly Misinformed

Harmonizing in their various experiences from life as they see it, The Formerly Misinformed is such an authentic act that makes you beam brightly at the calming rhythm – and also feel sad – when you remember those laughs at the peak of your relationship. The varying emotions here are so enlighteningly vivid and rather special to ponder, from a group who have used their close bond to make a blend of music that is so warm and caring.

‘Why When Where‘ from Fort Worth, Texas-based indie-alternative rock family band The Formerly Misinformed, is a really reflective track all about how you feel the distance between someone who you care about so much. The romance has sadly flamed out and the love isn’t like it was, as you wonder what happened and contemplate on those happy times that seem way too far away.

Heart Is Aching: Irish family band Us4 drop debut single ‘Tears Of A Clown’

Posted on 14 November 2021

Reflecting a luminescent light onto our unhappy and frightened faces, Us4 have us grasping for the tissues nearby on their much-awaited première single called ‘Tears Of A Clown‘.

Us4 is a DIY Irish pop-rock band that was created by four siblings who are from busy Birmingham, UK. They are a tight-knit group that bring us striking harmonies, to truly gaze right into as we hunt for that new path of self-worth.

”Emanating from a rich musical background, Us4 is the triumphant culmination of a childhood of exposure to a vast and eclectic blend of music. A strong Irish heritage is evident in their unique and vibrant sound, as they seamlessly marry the driving rhythms of stadium rock acts with the beautiful melodic spirit of traditional Irish folk music.” ~ Us4

There is a mysterious edge about such well-sung vocals that has your rain-trodden frame shaking with intrigue, on a background soundtrack that takes you to a new place in your gushing capillaries. The ambience is crammed with a contemplative stream of wonder, as you take yourself away from what has been bringing you down in the past.

‘Tears Of A Clown‘ from the talented and self-produced four-piece Irish family band Us4, is a scintillating single from a truly distinct act who are only getting started. This is the narrative about feeling so downcast and needing to find the energy after an emotional moment to lift yourself up, so that you may return with that vitality that made you extraordinary before.

Finding your glowing light in this harsh world filled with evil potholes – which are ready to easily take you under if you don’t have your thick skin ready for action – is the only way to really be that person who you want to be in life.

Putting The Pieces Back: Dana heals through courage on heartfelt new single ‘Collage’

Posted on 30 March 2021

Released off his new ten-track ‘Uncovered, Vol. 1‘ album from this year, Dana searches for all the broken memories of life to make his ‘Collage‘ of healing, so he may come to a happier reality.

Dana White aka Dana, is an emerging North Carolina-based indie RnB/neo-soul artist from a family of musicians, who sings about real moments that have influenced him in life, as he takes us on a journey of self-healing to become stronger, whilst helping others who have been in this same position recover too.

This is the story of feeling that your body is disjointed after a loss, the pieces are scattered all over the show as your mind tries to recover, your heart heals slowly, but this picture will be brighter again soon. The painful memories are harder to bare as you feel for a while that no one really cares, until you find a really good listener that understands you and guides you back to your happy place.

His voice shows the pain and emotion, the tone is strong and deep, trying to stay calm despite the water gushing all over his body through the storm of life that can sink you for a while, until you find that lifeboat to help you rise up again.

‘Collage‘ from soulful singer Dana, is that ode to all the romantics out there who feel love deeper and pain more intense than others. Going through all the memories to be better next time is the best way to replenish all those lost moments, rather than sweeping them under the carpet for them to emerge again, when the ferocious winds blow your way again.
