St Helens band Silver Story to release new single Bleed

St Helens band, Silver Story, were formed in 2008 by original members Alex McCabe and drummer Gaz Haigh while Alex studied at nearby Liverpool hope university. Taking influence from a pool of genres Silver Story's music has taken on a sound which is organic and intriguing, yet the songs leave you with the feeling that you have been listening to them for years. Frontman and songwriter Alex McCabe takes influence ranging from bands like Foo Fighters, Red hot Chilli Peppers, Nirvana and Blink 182 to artists such as Bob Marley and The Beatles.

The band have released three EP's, Soulmate:Eliminate'' which was released in 2009 on the Animal Farm Label, 'Wake Up' (2011) and 'Art and Vandals' (2012) which the band self released.

The 'Art and Vandals' EP has proved to be a promising platform for Silver Story as the band harnessed the use of social media to build a loyal and growing fanbase. So crank your speakers up, Silver Story have well and truly arrived and they're staying put!

New Norwegian Pop duo Hands release debut single on Tellé Records

HANDS are Hakon and Sofie and hail from Bergen, the same town that gave us Annie and Royksopp. HANDS have just completed their first single WakeUp which will be released through Elsker, an imprint of Tellé Records (Annie & Royksopp) on April 16th. HANDS have now finished recording a portion of their debut album with Pete Hofmann who has worked on releases by Will Young, Richard X, Kylie and Katy B.

Hakon and Sofie are deeply influenced by both by underground pop like Grimes and The XX and neon dance anthems by Robyn and Rihanna. HANDS merge the two sounds together. Sofie says "in Norway, we danced to Royksopp, Casiokids and Stargate who shaped the way we approach pop music. Now we're living in London its the likes Pete Hofmann, Hurts,

Hannah Robinson and Jamie XX who've all contributed in the way Hakon and me write together".
