Sink Or Swim is the new single from Wakefield artist St Cyrus.

The song is about songwriter Chris Charlton's Granda Dod Anderson who left us back in Feb 2020. An ex-salmon fisherman of the North Sea, St Cyrus, Angus, he fished from the nets out to sea and only fell in once in 23 years, the week before he retired. He lost his bonnet and couldn't swim.

The song is a tribute to a great man and is about making the most of the simple things in life. Enjoy the sun on your face when you can, be nice to folk, fill your boots, 'mak a lang airm' he used to say when the biscuit tin came out. There's also more than a nod to a childhood in Scotland and some of the places that hold a special place for Chris, Lunan Bay for example, great beach and big sand dunes. Sink or Swim.

Here he is in 1950 on Montrose Beach on his Ferguson Tractor post hole digger, planting a fly net. He grew his own award winning tatties, loved his snooker, his OVD and made the best pancakes. He chose his own spot at St Cyrus graveyard, up against the wall where there was nae draft. We miss him. 

St Cyrus is music by Wakefield singer songwriter Chris Charlton. He writes his songs in a shed in the middle of the West Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle. 

The first St Cyrus album is scheduled for release on Philophobia Music in May 2022.

TERROR CULT release their new single "Eight Eight Sixty Nine". This song is an amalgamation of the band's defining qualities: an alt rock banger complete with a dark lyrical subject matter, punk-jazz influences and one of the most infectious vocal melodies you'll hear in a while. 

"Eight Eight Sixty Nine" will be the band's follow up from their debut single and EP, 2021's "Snubnose Jesus" and "Self Titled" (respectively). It will also be their first release in their new line-up; Tate Maloney (vocals, bass), Daniel Hepworth (guitar) and Alex Wardle (drums). Formed in early 2020, Terror Cult are delivering their unique blend of alternative/punk rock and pop songwriting sensibility through explosive and chaotic live shows, as well as releases like this and much, much more to come.

Happy When Sad is the second track taken from the forthcoming album Broken Bones Vol 2 which is released in April.

It’s a song about questioning yourself, questioning how mental health makes you perceive the world. Am I good? Am I bad? Do I find solace in pain or do I want solace from pain? There is no light without dark. It’s a realisation that I am who I am but we can always become a better person if we chose to, we have to save ourselves Trying to understand one’s bi polar mind feels unfathomable at times. 

Chord wise it’s a nod to all the old great soul stuff, those old songs are just brimmed with raw emotion and trauma. You can feel it seeping out of those old tracks and I wanted to emulate that in a fashion. Without true pain there is no true art.

Happy When Sad is available digitally from 14th February 2025.

Leeds indie pop old timers Buen Chico are treating fans to a second single from their upcoming fourth album, “PRIMETIME”, following the release of ‘Pioneers’ in November 2024.

The new song, ‘To Dance With the One I Love’, has been a fan favourite at recent live shows, and is the latest in a long line of Buen Chico songs celebrating the joys of dancing at the disco. In part an amusing meditation on singer Morgan’s simultaneous love of dancing and limited ability to dance coherently with others, the song is brimming with nostalgia for youthful, communal dancing experiences. The playful synthesiser arps and jarring guitars recall Super Furry Animals at their most immediate, whilst layers of backing vocals provide an infectious hook.

Buen Chico - To Dance With The One I Love

I suppose it’s about not feeling a sense of belonging in the arms of someone you love, the feeling that they will or have walked away when you needed them the most but also knowing your mental health is the reason that drives that love away. It’s a sorry for the way im built mentally.
