The Musical Dependence - Stoner\Blues\Hard-Rock band, from Belarus\Minsk

In a world of songwriters burning bright, where famous images assail us from all sides and a queue of imitators lines up knocking on the door desperate to be heard, a new band is about to cut through that chorus. No fame-seeking stage school graduate nor some shrinking bedroom poet.

2THOUGHTS from ROCHESTER UK ( Bobby Clayton, Dean Judd & Stuart Tompsett) offers something richer, deeper and more exotic. Burning with charisma and dripping in personality, wickedly ambitious with a passion to succeed this is a band that beguiles and intrigues, cajoles and inspires.
 
Unafraid of honesty and able to conjure melodies as easily as most of us breathe, 2THOUGHTS songs are resonant with experience,  speak of love, longing and desire over acoustic - led laments and bass-driven vignettes. With a number of  live performances in Kent, Hastings & St Lenords in 2014 -2015 they recently spent time in the studio recording there songs.

Honing there sound 2THOUGHTS steps out of the shadows of the studio to steal the heart of every true music fan on the planet. Whether it's about the struggle and strife of being the powerless newcomer in a tight-knit household or the grand scale of just about everything from Love and Religion to Money and TV.

2THOUGHTS are a band worth talking about. Whilst being one of around five bands on earth that that can actually claim they sound like no one else.

A podcast where where we (Wayne, Neil and Ritchie)explore lesser known music by lesser known artists that we feel are as good if not better than that in the mainstream. With head to heads, challenges and plenty of banter. There is something for everyone.

Folk/Indie group The Folk Remedy, comprising of band members Matt Whoriskey, Maria Bonner and Rob Ryle, formed in Manchester, England in 2012. A guitar and violin three-piece, the group quickly established a reputation for stunning live shows, gathering a loyal following and playing sold-out concerts in Manchester and beyond. The Folk Remedy released their debut EP, ‘Sirens’, in 2013, with five critically-acclaimed original songs, gaining air time on radio stations across the UK, including live sessions on BBC Radio Manchester and national airplay too with their song ‘Jack And Mac’. The band’s sound owes much to Manchester’s rich musical history with added influences from Ireland and the U.S. Think Elbow meets Ryan Adams and Damien Rice with Neil Young or Dylan penning the words. Whoriskey’s deep and rich vocal style is reminiscent of folk balladeers from yesteryear with musical stories of love and loss that could have first been sung one hundred years ago or more. Ryle’s guitar exists happily in a sublime sonic space between Johnny Marr and Willie Nelson while Bonner’s backing vocals and violin sweep over the band, like a haunting summer wind. Matt Whoriskey – Vocals, guitar Originally from Derry, Ireland, Whoriskey has been writing and playing music for more than a decade. As a singer, songwriter, Whoriskey has been heavily influenced by Irish musicians like Fionn Regan and Damien Rice as well as Americans, Ryan Adams, Conor Oberst and Bob Dylan. Rob Ryle – Lead Guitar The only English-born member of The Folk Remedy, Ryle, from Bolton, is a veteran on the vibrant Manchester music scene, playing in a number of bands over the years after starting out with the psychedelic ‘Jesus Franco’. A talented guitarist with a flare for melodic riffs, Ryle has four main influences, John Squire, Pete Townshend, Graham Coxon and Johnny Marr. Maria Bonner – Violin, backing vocals Like the lead singer, Bonner also hails from Derry, Ireland though she has lived in Manchester for more than a decade. A classically trained violinist, she is also an accomplished piano and bass player. Listing ‘Elbow’ among her most influential musical groups, Bonner, an expert at harmonising, also sings backing vocals for The Folk Remedy.
Their new album is available on all the major stores/streaming outlets from 5/3/18.
