Holly Johnston is a Suffolk born and bred singer songwriter who finds her roots in contemporary folk-pop music.
For those of you who recognise the name, Holly’s debut album and single a long 9 years ago left listeners eager for her follow up recordings.  After a long wait, Holly’s second album “East Anglian Girl” is due to be released in January of 2014, with a free download track and video available from December.
You will certainly hear some of the twists and turns from the last 9 years in her new songs and once again be lulled by Holly’s “beautiful, pure voice”.

Comments from the press so far include:
"A beautiful pure voice which she uses to great effect”
"Straight forward musical quality - echoed by the voices in Ms Johnston’s head"
“A fragile chanteuse like a ghostly Ricky Lee Jones"
“Her ability to pen accessible songs, coupled with the stunning purity of her voice, is a winning combination”.

14 Track CD Album 

Exit 13 release forthcoming album “The Lunar Society” (OLKCD033) on March 5th 2021.

This album was recorded using vintage instruments and equipment over Summer/Autumn 2020. Twenty songs were recorded (two already released as a Single in October 2020) bringing together older and new song ideas along with poetry written over the last year.

There are many themes involved in the lyrics, including Working in a Museum (Dusty Clocks) being a Lighthouse, falling in love with a ghost (Doors to the Past) and Fairy Circles (Melodies of Venus).

There are also some straight forward love songs, Psychedelia, a touch of 70`s Glam rock, and a real Harmonium on the intro and outro.

Whole New Silence is Buffalo Roads 3rd album.
Reformed with a new line up in 2014. it features the original songwriting team of Mike Sum-mers (vocals/guitar) and Gary Keeble (bass), the album was recorded over a 3 year period on vintage equipment and also saw Buffalo Road re unite with Backwater Records and producer Steve Mann.
It follows on from Rattlesnake And Smoke Saloon (1993) and Hotel Incident (1995) and sees a further instalment of the bands unique genre of Indie Road Music which saw them receive recognition from Vox and Q magazine as well as Radio 1 play and UK wide country radio exposure.
Somewhat of a "lost album" it sat on the Backwater Records shelf on it's completion in 2016 and while Buffalo Road are currently pursuing separate ventures it makes a worthy compan-ion to their catalogue.

Strike The Sun (Moby Dick inspired name) formed in late 2015 and have always been focused on putting on an energetic performance whilst weaving in tall tales, folklore and stories from around the world to compliment the lively act.

With “All That We Lack,” War Waves found their sound. On ‘Sleep’, the band refines it, upping the ante with more dynamism from the instrumentation and songwriter Marc Newby’s
soul-baring lyrics and vocal delivery.
This is the type of record you buy, listen to repeatedly and scream it back to the band when seeing it live.
