Name: Hair Ties by aymee.weir
Duration: 2 min 26 s
Description: Hair Ties is a heartfelt reflection on the lingering feelings that remain when a relationship feels unresolved. The song resonates with anyone who has ever found themselves caught in the delicate balance between holding on and letting go, wondering if the other person feels the same intensity of emotion.

We watched the blood red sun
set on the Crossroads of America
Karla sang with John Mellencamp
Pink Houses blasting from the radio
We drove past unsung heroes living ordinary lives
Pulling shifts in motels, malls and bars
Working to survive

We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
where confidence and hope
are things of the past
We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
Through the land of the weary
and the home of the damned

Tacos kept us fed driving down the I-94
eyes glued to the road
Top down, wind in our hair
Adventures waiting to unfold
With every stop and every stay
Met so many souls along the way
the same old story, long hours
and no decent pay

We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
where confidence and hope
are things of the past
We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
Through the land of the weary
and the home of the damned

It broke our hearts to see
what was built over centuries
fall apart
before our eyes

We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
where confidence and hope
are things of the past
We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
Through the land of the weary
and the home of the damned

Land Of The Weary

Conscious Route - ‘Underground’ ft Becci Wallace b/w ‘Original’ ft Solareye

Edinburgh-based rapper, Conscious Route returns with a new two-track release due out in April 26th 2024. 
It kicks off with ‘Underground’ featuring Becci Wallace, an atmospheric, mid-tempo breakbeat backed track that deals with mental health in the face of toxic friendships. The pair split vocal duties with Becci’s sing-song style complementing Conscious Route’s spitting. This is not the first time they have connected on a track, as Conscious Route was inspired to work with Becci after hearing her ‘Present Tense’ album and going on to record the single ‘Orphans’ together in 2022. 


The lilting tones and personal struggles of ‘Underground’ give way to a harder edged feel on ‘Original,’ as Solareye kicks off a politicised look at the struggles of life in Scotland and Conscious Route delves into how culture is used to create narratives to influence society before the duo mock the lack of originality in the scene. 
These two tracks offer a snapshot of Conscious Route’s ability to flip his style track-to-track, showing his skills while avoiding tired cliches. 

Both tracks produced by Mackenzie and mastered by Forest DLG @ KMJ45 Studio

The Debut EP release from Perhard’s Wall, “The Tea Pea” - EP consists of 4 tracks. 
1) Hands 
2) Esperanza 
3) Somebody’s Got To Dream 
4) Munchausen. 
The band have said of the ‘Tea Pea’ EP: 
“The Tea Pea was recorded in 2023, after a good solid run at playing all the local bars and festivals to find our feet, we found ourselves hopping in our cars and rolling down to Orbital Studios , greeted by a dear friend and musical collaborator, Lucas Saunter. The studio, set in the beautiful surroundings of Rozel, with a backdrop of rolling meadows and a fresh sea breeze, we set out to capture the live raw sound that the cosmonauts who have attended our gigs over the years have come to know and love and with the hope that we pick up a few more friends and fans following the release. 
With tripped out jams that fit any 60s freak out records, vibrant passages of soul filled vocal melodies with a slight sprinkle of the band's love for grunge and Brit pop, this EP is sure to leave you wanting more. Inspired by friendship and created for our fans, the only real meaning behind this EP is to get people dancing at our live shows.”
Perchard’s Wall are James Perchard on vocals and bass, Greg Alliban on guitar, Joe Hutchinson on vocals and guitar and Aaron Bouchard on drums. 
All tracks on the ‘Tea Pea’ EP were composed by Perchard’s Wall with all the lyrics being written by James Perchard. The EP was recorded and mixed at Orbital Studio in Jersey, was engineered by Lucas Saunter and produced by Perchard’s Wall.

Damn. That’s pretty suspicious.
You’re the man, feeding the fishes.
When I got gas in the tank I head to the city.
I don’t wanna look back, I just wanna look pretty.
I just want to look pretty.

And you, you ask for a pay cheque,
Well this month maybe I, I just couldn’t make it.
Cos you’re the man in black, you think you own me,
But as a matter of fact you barely know me,
Oh thou most holy.

I could have got there faster,
I could have found the answer,
But I don’t have the answer,
No I don’t have the answer.

Damn. That’s pretty suspicious
You’re the man, preying on the fishes.
When I got gas in the tank I head to the city
I don’t wanna look back, I just wanna look pretty
I just wanna look ...
Pretty suspicious.

Pretty Suspicious

back to the roots
back to original Kinshasa

Mapeka - is about Politique ya mabe - Bad politics
The word mapeka can be interpreted all kinds of ways
Like all Kinshasa slang
It’s the stance of someone showing off
The strut of a big ego

In this song it’s the arrogance of evil politicians
Mocking their audacity
With a raucous kind of chorus calling out ‘mapeka ya politicians’

And in typical Kinshasa style, band leader Matondo shouts out the instrumentalists as they begin playing pure fire start to finish.

Mulele Matondo - band leader, bass guitar, vocals
Jethro Massamba - guitar
Shyam Shah Uday - guitar
Yves Bampelenga - drums
Serge Kadima - congas, percussion
