This is the first of a new, regular thang we’ll be presenting to you – the MusicInOxford Sessions. Each session will be a set of exclusive, specially-recorded tracks from a local artist or band.
We’re very pleased to offer these four King Of Cats tracks as our first session. King Of Cats is a fellow called Max, who sometimes (not this time) has other people playing music with him. On these songs, though, it’s all Max. Enjoy? Yes, enjoy. And let us know what you think.

King Of Cats: Bright Lightbulbs (MusicInOxford Session 1)

We recorded Ally for the third MusicInOxford Session, and he kindly provided us with four excellent tracks’ worth of voice and guitar.

Ally Craig: Squeeze Bees (MusicInOxford Session 3)

For the fourth MusicInOxford Session we’re happy to present three exclusive recordings from long-standing Oxford punks Junkie Brush, including two songs that have never previously been recorded. Renowned for their bloody-minded determination to keep the spirit of original punk rock alive, they’ve been tearing things up both locally and beyond since 2004. Enjoy…

Junkie Brush: Exhume His Corpse And Make Him Dance For Money (MusicInOxford Session 4)

Junkie Brush: Give Up (MusicInOxford Session 4)

The sixth Session takes the form of these four tracks from The Empty Vessels. Hope you enjoy them.

The Empty Vessels: Chance By Chance (MusicInOxford Session 6)

The Empty Vessels: Consolers Of The Lonely Night (MusicInOxford Session 6)

The Empty Vessels: Stand In Line (MusicInOxford Session 6)

The latest in our now-and-then series of exclusive MusicInOxford Sessions takes the form of three tracks from Tamara And The Martyrs. Fronted by Tamara Parsons-Baker, previously seen often around Oxford as a solo artiste, the three-piece includes Humphrey Astley and Tommy Longfellow, from much-missed heavy noiselords Sextodecimo.

Tamara And The Martyrs: Hang My Picture (MusicInOxford Session 7)

Tamara And The Martyrs: Ah (MusicInOxford Session 7)

Tamara And The Martyrs: Payday Slag (MusicInOxford Session 7)

The eighth MusicInOxford Session comes from Phil Garvey. Garvey has been playing music in and around Oxford for years, both solo and as part of groups like the Mark Bosley Band. He also helps to organise the East Hanney music festival Hanneyfest.
