Luke Brown - Whisper Away

LYRICS:
Go and tell the king there's no one left to rule
We have all become murderers and fools
Liars and thieves lovers and cheats
But don't you forget me 
Before, I forget you 

Go and see your queen wish her all the best from me
Tell her I have become bitter and unseen
But leave her drones to sleep 
Like an apple to her seed 
I can set you free 
Drones do as you please

This love is so much thicker than the shit we're fighting for 
But dirt is thicker still so lets bury it in the floor
Cover me with mud
Kid cut out my tongue 

Take these fallen trees build yourself a home 
Carve my rotten bones into a festered throne
Uncomfortable seat
Believe what you believe
But don't you forget me 
Before, I fall asleep

Blood is so much thicker than the paint that's on these walls
But hate is growing stronger than the kids that fight these wars 
Before they hold their guns 
Teach these boys to run
And as I hold my tongue 
I see what I become

Liars and Theives

A story about domestic abuse. Love and violence.

Why do you love me too much?
Why does my touch have to be so heavy?
Why do you fear for your life?
And does it matter?

Why when I look at purple do I see red?
The blues are fine but here come the mean old meds
I wish that you were different and I was dead

I do take comfort in pride
I'm really good on the inside
My skin might bleed, my eyes might cry
But when you hit me I won't run and hide

Why when I look at purple do I see red?
The blues are fine but here come the mean old meds
I wish that you were different and I was dead

My daddy he once said to me
To avoid catastrophe
Love somebody like you love yourself
Put up with the dark disease
And the stupid thought police
Try hard to put up with yourself 

Why when I look at purple do I see red?
The blues are fine but here come the mean old meds
I wish that you were different and I was dead




The Big V - Murder Song

The Big V - The Boy Is Easily Broken

'Ashes’ marks the beginning of a journey into self-discovery. It showcases the feelings of someone who has been thrust into a world where they are under-appreciated and neglected by the system. 

Society can demand that people fit into certain moulds, and this song explores how it feels for someone to be disregarded by society because they do not fit those moulds, or at least how those aspects of a personality can feel oppressed by a system that doesn’t care.

‘Ashes’ is about knowing that you have something to offer the world, but not being shown the right path to take in order to achieve your full potential. 

On a personal level this can be from the absence of a father figure, but speaking more generally it can also be applied to anyone who has been oppressed and left feeling neglected.

Everyone has a spark in them that can achieve greatness, but when that spark isn’t fostered into a flame, the embers go out and all that’s left are the ‘Ashes’.

TORBEN TIETZ - House in the woods

Carefully-crafted British Rock and Soul that looks forwards as well as backwards, and inwards as well as outwards. Music that credits its listeners with intelligence and isn't shy of putting its soul on the line. 
 There's a refreshing simplicity and honesty in the quartet's approach to their music, which pours the best elements of rock, blues and pop into songs about real, down-to-earth human experience. The real stuff that we all go through, full of questions, frailties, doubt, determination, light and shade.

“We fell into the blues-rock scene, but we're not completely a blues band and we're not completely a rock band, there's lots of layers to it.” says Frontman Ben Edwards with some understatement, who's joined in the line-up by his younger brother Sam on drums, Charlie Richards on guitar and Ash Milburn on bass. 
The four-piece, based in the English midlands, have been consistently engaging brains and ears during a steady emergence over recent years. In the process, the Rainbreakers have built up an audience that hangs on their every song, in revered venues such as the 100 Club and the Borderline and throughout the UK and Europe.

They've shared stages with such notables as the Temperance Movement, Samantha Fish and Devon Allman, and no one wants to miss their next number. Their stage presence and innate resistance of genre restrictions always keep audiences wanting more. 
On record, the band emerged in 2015 with the Blood Not Brass EP, rightly hailed for the frenetic energy that was, on reflection, only part of their appeal. 2017's second EP Rise Up hinted at the greater depth that was confirmed on the Rainbreakers' debut album a year later, Face To Face.

Now that all translates into another offering, co-produced by the band with Tom Gittins from Monochrome Productions, on which the Rainbreakers have found their voice as never before.
