Introducing in 2011: WAREHOUSE REPUBLIC

Debut single Revolver out now. A statement of intent, so far winning great reviews, single of the week, independent radio support and a BBC Introducing play. “Dirty blues-rock vibes... messy soulful guitar solo... delightfully dangerous” (Islington News). Movie actress, Rachel Hurd-Wood (Peter Pan, Dorian Gray, Perfume), appears in the film noir video directed by Pedro Brehm. Being banned from terrestrial TV by OfCom has not stopped it getting lots of play online http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I08d4Wh4xQ8

In November, the growing buzz had them promoted from to headliners at The 100 Club. They packed the world famous venue like a sardine tin and sent the crowd wild, back to basics style, with electric bluesy rock n roll. This was their first show as a full band and it was incendiary. “A young shambolic Rolling Stones” (Star Soaked Music). A minute of the action captured http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRTiYo8ozE4

“Band of the moment”. (Camden Journal). Not resting on their laurels, they ended 2010 by recording two more tracks for a follow up double A-side release in Spring 2011. Secret Garden Party was the first festival to book the band for July 2011 and live dates are being set up and sought for spring and beyond.

Album Review - Ghost - Matt Stevens

When i suddenly got an email out of the blue from a gentleman called Matt Stevens asking me to review his album i was both hesitant and thrilled at the same time. I like to experience new music and especially when its as good as this. This is the second album from this London based musician so imagine if you can, a mix of Roger Waters, Radiohead with touches of latin exuberance with jazz and classical thrown in for good measure and you have started to understand the music of Matt Stevens on "Ghost". I listened to this, in part, in the sunshine. The rays beating down on me as Matt worked his fingers elequantly through each track. This is the ideal soundtrack to relax,chill out and get lost in. Stand out tracks for me personally were the title track Ghost and Glide. This is a unique album coming from a unique musician and one i would seriously implore anyone to expereince it.
You can download the album here http://mattstevens.bandcamp.com/
