Just a child tells the story of a displaced child of war, a child who lives and breathes a modern warzone on a daily basis but seldom gets media coverage.

Just a child

LYRICS:


my sunny disposition is something that I lack
take all my inhibitions smoke some paper, relax
but my intuition
has come into fruition 
I’ve got these suspicions clinging onto my back


I can’t help it 
I can’t help it ah
x4

I’m so incompetent and
I’m so in conflict with my head
and my heart
but instead of falling apart

distraction is my saviour 
when I bounce off the walls
when trapped inside my head
I’ve got some friends I can call
but my plan addiction
to my own mental fiction
has gotten so strong
(I think I’m delusional)

I can’t help it
I can’t help it ah 
x8

(SWITCH UP)

look.
I know you think about me when you’re tucked in
missing all the moments that I keep getting you stuck in
truth be told I miss packing a duffle for the weekend
but I need a place where I can be alone and sleep in
sleep in

meet me in my dreams then

(meet me in my dreams then)

can't help it

With angular melodies and cascading drums, ‘We Woke The Monster’ is a loud condemnation of every terrible relationship you've ever had. The latest single from Bristol based Shoun Shoun loads up their genre defying playstyle to deal with the effects of gaslighting and emotional abuse. It talks about narcissistic people that have an inflated sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy and use charm and deceit to manipulate the people around them. Affected people begin to question their own sanity and reality.
‘We Woke The Monster’ is about waking up to this reality and walking away.

‘We Woke The Monster’ is due for release April 21st 2024 and will be available on all major streaming platforms.

Last Night On Earth (live demo - preview)

For English singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Martin Paul Cuthew, music is a mix of catharsis and celebration. His meditations on love, hope and longing are set against bright sonic colours and warm, rich tones - a foundation of acoustic-rock vocal/guitar is enriched with bold synths and beats to form gutsy pop-rock songs that have drawn comparisons with Frank Turner, Mat Kearney and Peter Murphy.

Martin played keys and guitar from a young age, absorbing Pink Floyd, Metallica and Smashing Pumpkins and  electronic acts Orbital and The Prodigy. However, it was Oasis and Coldplay that first inspired him to write songs and take music seriously. Since then, he's performed all over South-East England, including legendary London venues the Half Moon Putney and Brixton Jamm, and at the international Greenbelt Festival.

Martin's first 4 singles were all released to positive reviews and international radio airplay and last year he performed at the Gosport Waterfront Festival. He's now expanding his sound with his 'Erosion & Evolution' EP - described by KMS Reviews as "an outstanding emotional work". Lead single, The Machine, had A&R Factory proclaiming "... the luminously humanist soul projected through the lyrics and optimism-inspiring vocals spoke to [us] on a level that normally only James Dean Bradfield reaches."

Martin recently released the EP's 2nd single, Holding On, and will appear this Summer at The Portsmouth Chilli & Gin Festival, The Epsom Derby weekend and Marlow Rock Bottom Festival.
