Name: Burning Sound - Shining Through by Alternative Weston
Duration: 3 min 32 s
Description: Weston's first indie single, released in early 1981. The band's story is brilliantly told in Gary Palmer's article on the Bristol Archive Records site (http://www.bristolarchiverecords.com/bands/Burning_Sound.html). If you would like your very own copy of the song and the B-side - Fit To Burn - you can buy them on Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shining-Through/dp/B0042KJGZ4).

Haven't this in years, but if we are being honest none of these bands are in the same class as Red Alert, honest fast rock n roll with lyrics you could relate to!

There it is!! Can still sing along. and still got my 7" copy

Written during the first lockdown. It was obvious that no generation had ever experienced what we were all going through - so I need to write about it.
'It's not like we’d ever choose…….’
Wasn't sure where the song was going, so decided to build up the ending to EPIC proportions with 'Moog Taurus' bass pedals, Mellotron choirs, strings, brass and the kitchen sink!
Helped immensely by the very talented Mr Rob Rowles (aka ’Badger’) on piano, strings and brass sections, and the equally talented Alex Pearson who played the double bass.

Listen with headphones and turn up LOUD to fully appreciate this progathon!

Not Like

Here’s a song I wrote a few years ago now - it’s about the innocence of youth, and how becoming an adult shatters that innocence.
This was written on piano (I’m no pianist, so please excuse the basic playing!), but transposes nicely to guitar for when I play it live.
Enjoy!

When We Were Young

This song is about the ‘link’ between dreams and ‘deja vous’ (probably in my head but I seem to recall hearing it somewhere)……

Burning Sound - Shining Through

This page features music from Weston super Mare's alternative scene, between 1979 and 1984. Eventually, the aim is to have a mix of studio, rehearsal and live recordings on here to form a record of a very special time down Wessun. If your music fits with that, let me know and I'll pop it on the page. Please bear in mind that this music has been hanging around on tapes in attics for about 30 years so the sound quality isn't going to be perfect, even though the music is...
