Old and Grey: Marsh Family are rather special on My Storybook

Posted on 21 February 2023

After their hugely unforgettable last feature from December 2022 called In the Bleak, Marsh Family mark a 2022 golden wedding anniversary in the most joyous way conceivable on My Storybook.

Marsh Family is a much-loved Kent, UK-based indie pop family band who ascended to worldwide stardom in 2020 with their inspiring pandemic parody songs.

”A piece of musical sunshine that celebrates companionship, shared memories, and the simple things that keep us all grounded.” ~ Marsh Family

After raising £8,000 for Save the Children and showing us their true devotion to the local community, The Marsh Family shall change all sour milk into only freshness with a quite lovely new single. They perform with so much fondness and care which is rather heart-healing in this cold world.

My Storybook from Kent, UK-based indie pop family band Marsh Family is such a likeable picture book for a special time. Reminding us of the importance of taking time to cherish those vivid recollections, this is a song to turn up rather loud. The quality is easy to hear and the connection genuine, to wash all apprehensions away rather quickly.

Turn up this track on Spotify. View more of their journey on IG.

“I Don’t Know What Sex Is” by comedy music act Sam & Bill

Posted on 28 July 2017

I guess the best thing you about Sam and Bill’s latest track is that it isn’t until the second verse blows wide open in all it’s weird glory that you are sure if it is a parody or not. Okay, from the start it feels a bit uncomfortable, a bit indecorous, some might say rude, but given the current pop market you really can’t tell. I mean, if the Kardashians can be reality TV icons, this could be a serious effort. In fact, even knowing that it is satire, it still out-performs much of the designed-by-committee, production line pop that floats to the surface of the charts these days.

And then it turns into a hardcore punk version of They Might be Giants…and a prog-rock musing about Wolverines…. I don’t really know what to say about that. Sam and Bill continue the traditions of The Bonzo Dog Band, Monty Python and Flight of The Conchords and have been variously described by others as  “The Sexier Simon and Garfunkel” and “Bad Motherfolkers,” make of that what you will.
