Heaven To Me

You're no one's friend but your own
I tried to reach out
But every touch leaves me cold
You locked me out

Took what you wanted
Not what you needed
I was blindsided 
To your faults

Coat my skin in salt
I want it to
Burn
'Cause nothing hurts like you

Coat my skin in salt
I want it to
Burn
'Cause nothing hurts like you

You're no one's friend but your own
I tried to reach out
But every touch leaves me cold
You locked me out

Took what you wanted
Not what you needed
I was blindsided 
To it all

Coat my skin in salt
I want it to
Burn
'Cause nothing hurts like you

Coat my skin in salt
I want it to
Burn
'Cause nothing hurts like you

Salt (Single Version)

‘The Man at the Party’ a striking alt hip hop dialogue between B and one of ‘those’ guys at a party…
You know the fella. Kinda offended by a woman having the temerity to disagree/ correct him/ have her own opinion. It’s a confrontation and catharsis in song form!

The Man at the Party

When I saw you in my dreams
Made me fall to my knees

All I care for is what you see
All you do now is what I need

Feeling cold in my disease
Makes me crawl on my knees 

I was bored and you broke free
Carelessness in my belief
I was bored and you broke free
Carelessness in my belief
I was told that you are near
And everything that we’ve feared 
Eventually is no longer here

And I know you can’t be far
And I go where you are

Whispers come, they call to me
All you do now is what I need

When I saw you in my dreams
Made me fall to my knees

I was bored and you broke free
Carelessness in my belief 
I was bored and you broke free
Echoes fading silently
I was told that you are near
And everything that we’ve feared 
Eventually is no longer here

Waiting Line

What if instead of the book and film Yes Man, you felt like you were always saying no, man? Ban Summers feels like the No Man - and in his new single he explains why.

Touching on chronic illness, disability and depression, No Man is his letter to friends and family on his absence and isolation.

Ban Summers homebrews lo-fi indie with all the feels from his bedroom in Portsmouth. No Man is the fourth single from his new album, which arrives before the summer.

No Man

We’ve all been there at times… losing faith in life, questioning who to turn to for solace and meaning – and this time it’s lead singer and guitarist Dave Lightfoot of South London garage rockers The Fades. Having heard a rumour that Keanu Reeves was filming around the corner from their rehearsal studios just after experiencing a midlife breakup, Dave’s imagination was set alight thinking: imagine bumping into Keanu on the street, hanging out and going back to the studio with him for a jam together – then an amazing lifelong relationship can begin, but before that there’s a song to write and here it is…

Looking for Keanu is a 90’s inspired slice of slacker indie rock that features The Fades at their most reflective and self-effacing.

The naked honesty in the verse lyric is plain to see but even in the darkest moments there’s always hope to guide us through to better times and then comes the chorus: it’s powerful, catchy and you can’t help but be lifted up by its energy. There’s the video too, jam packed with ‘Easter eggs’ from Keanu’s various films, all shot around the area where Keanu was filming in South London when Dave came up with the song.

With DJs like Steve Lamacq, John Kennedy & Marc Riley supporting various releases & glowing write ups in Louder Than War, Fresh on The Net & alike throughout their career, The Fades are a band who’ve consistently turned adversity to their advantage, finding the best in life while not taking themselves too seriously.

Looking for Keanu

"Sheet Ghost" is more than just a song—it's a haunting reflection on the invisible struggles we face in life. Like the spectral figure draped in a sheet, it delves into themes of abuse, homelessness, and the unraveling of relationships, capturing the feeling of being alone in a crowd or at a party surrounded by familiar faces yet feeling utterly disconnected. Through poignant lyrics and ethereal melodies, "Sheet Ghost" invites listeners to confront the specters of their own hidden turmoil and find solace in the shared experience of navigating life's unseen challenges.

last single off my 2nd EP, messages !! hope u enjoy :)

i was in the bathroom counting tiles
to find a way to talk to someone my size
the light flickers above me as i make my move
self imposed rejection, as i look at you

and i’ll see when i meet you, is it the right time for me?
can you feel it this moment, or am i about to make this mistake again?

i’ll fake another memory so i don’t feel so cold
embrace the world around me, i’m clay without a mould
a lack of pure connection, will this time ever come?
a flower in the garden with no access to sun

and i’ll see when i meet you, is it the right time for me?
can you feel it this moment, or am i about to make this mistake again?
