Pipe And Slippers Man is about a reformed character (played with aplomb by Mr Rat Scabies in the video – see Youtube). It’s been in the live set list for a few years & front man Paul-Ronney’s often asked if it’s autobiographical, to which he replies, “No, I’m still a lowlife”. Even though these days he’s married with a baby son & mortgage, he still remembers the days of squatting & selling the Big Issue.

Manchester based quintet Affairs bring us their latest synth-drenched single 'Blood Science' produced by ex-Psychedelic Furs member Ed Buller whose production credits include Pulp, The Courteeners & the Mercury Award winning number 1 debut album from Suede.

The colourful, synth-heavy sound of Blood Science plays against the baritone vocals, creating a track of uplifting optimism mixed with tinges of melancholic charm.

Affairs have been establishing themselves on the indie circuit since the band’s early days at Hull University, opening up for Alt-J, Dog Is Dead, Young Kato, The 1975 and The Family Rain.

Stars Will Descend, the title track from Blair Jollands' upcoming EP tells of endless love, and showcases Jollands’ smoky vocals against a backdrop of arresting piano phrases, delicate violins and soft melodies.

Having been compared to Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and Elvis Presley plus gained recognition for his work from David Bowie among others, Blair Jollands marked his spot under the previous alias of El Hula. During this period he collaborated with the iconic Boy George (who describes him as the illegitimate child of Scott Walker & Jim Morrison) and released the albums Hotel and Violent Love, both of which received praise from the likes of NME, Guardian, Uncut, ArtRocker and more.

Having toured around Europe, Australia, South America and the USA in recent years performing songs from his previous two EPs, singer-songwriter Antonio Lulic returns with his new release Son - a 5-track EP that reflects his journey around the world as a solo performer.

Antonio has gained much experience with live performances during his worldwide travels, including supporting Ed Sheeran in the UK and at his sold out New York headline shows. However, Antonio also succeeds in captivating an attentive audience wherever he finds himself playing, which ranges from stadiums to small intimate venues.

This Track, The City of Austin, Texas, is a key track from the Son EP and tells of Antonio's adventures in the States.

I'm in the city of Austin, Texas now
Trying to get ahold of you
The sun, it comes a’rising over the interstate highway
And I'm hiding in my hotel room

I'm in the city of Austin, Texas now
Trying to get over you
In the morning I'll be boarding
The southbound Greyhound bus
To San Antonio


And the bats asleep beneath the bridge on Congress Street
Will be the only ones who hear my song
Who hear my song


I'm in the city of Austin, Texas now
Trying to forget about you
It's been two weeks since I last laid my eyes on you, darling
But when I close them I can still hear you move
I can still hear you move


My friends believe I'll leave a trail of broken hearts along the freeway
My family don't even know that I'm gone
There's five thousand miles of dust and water now lying between us
And I swear to you that I can feel each one
I can feel each one


And the bats asleep beneath the bridge on Congress Street
And the bats asleep beneath the bridge on Congress Street
And the bats asleep beneath the bridge on Congress Street will be the only ones who hear my song
Who hear my song


Another dollar tip
Another whisky sip
Another stripper's hips
Another tequila hit

Another dollar tip
Another whisky sip
Another stripper's hips
Another tequila hit

ANTONIO LULIC - The City Of Austin, Texas

America 
(Christopher Damms, Bryan Day)

Come to America where the the angels fly
Change the way you feel
Move up to Canada, a sunset tide…
Change the way you see

I have often heard the stories and the dreams about you
I have seen your silver stars
I hear you are… in America

Come to America, take a chance on life
Change the way you breathe
Drive down to Florida, take the sunset keys (hotel)
Swim beneath the sea…

I have often heard the stories and the dreams about you
I have seen your silver stars
I hear you are… in America

What would you say if I could take you on a plane unto America
Would all the things you heard, though quite absurd be waiting in America

I have often seen the wonders and the films about you
I have seen the eagle fly…

And here you are . . . In America.

THE CLEAR - America

What you believe is not a joke
Like what a terrorist provokes
Pushing my hand to tear me up
As if I might escape the zeitgeist

I wasn’t always just a man,
As if I had intent to plan
Tirade of animal velocity in animately

Coming out of my insides
Hovering awkwardly around
I'm tired and dressed up and lucid
Trying my hardest just to keep up
Rolling around with you

Now that we always see the light
Time isn’t always on our side
Battles all over for the week
So let the children have their futures
I never wasn’t one for it
Temperature seals my cells that split
Place to reconfigure if anyone would see within me

Coming out of my insides
Hovering awkwardly around
I'm tired and dressed up and lucid
I'm heavy and hired to keep it up
Rolling around with you
Rolling around with you
Rolling around

Open to loosest of resent
Once it's a union it's a friend
Living with animals you realise the earth belies our future
You ain’t got any choice in it
Balance a harvest that resists
Now that an era that accords
Its worth to you within me

Coming out of my insides
Hovering awkwardly around
I'm tired and dressed up and lucid
Trying my hardest to keep it up
Rolling around with you
Rolling around with you
Rolling around with you
