A Million Times

Is music just nostalgia? I’ve seen Depeche Mode (and others) over 20 times and it never gets old. But . . . it also never gets new or relevant to me - where I am NOW. I believe music is missing a vibe and intimacy of when music was new (to me) but with themes targeted at someone that’s seen Depeche Mode over 20 times. 

This is Adult Alternative Anthemic Rock - Big Songs with Big Themes. 

A blend of synth and guitar with an updated nostalgic edge  

The anthemic spirit of the Killers
The sonic textures of Depeche Mode
The timeless themes of U2
The production value of Duran Duran

Music powerful enough to reset the nostalgic clock

What's Next is the quintessential jumping off point for my Second Act.  My hope is that you recognize when and how to take that leap.  I'm in mid-air right now.

GOING PUBLIC - 3/31/25

Core influences: Depeche Mode, Muse, The Killers, The National, Bleachers, Editors, White Lies, and U2.

What's Next?

you never know how fast life can change... one second everything is there and the next it can all be gone. time is fragile.

"Two things, that always get me down
I have work
I have no work"

The latest single from Bristol noise pop band Shoun Shoun is a loud, punky rebuke of the daily grind and all its misery. Official streaming release is January 31 2025. 

Taken from the forthcoming album Noisebleed (to be released later this year)

Work

Release 14/02

Blurring the lines between right and wrong, pleasure and destruction, this track can be your perfect anti-love song OR for those who dare to embrace love’s wilder, more reckless side. 

No matter what - it’s a celebration for my trusted cult members, witches and felons, of chaos, debauchery and more than anything - a good f***** time.


Bio:
A.N.J.A. is a Belfast-based garage punk powerhouse, delivering explosive, dark, and hypnotic punk anthems. Led by Anja Romer, the band blends ferocious riffs, volcanic vocals, and horror-tinged lyricism to create a sound that’s raw, rebellious, and unforgettable. With influences like Queens of the Stone Age, The Kills, L7, and The Misfits, A.N.J.A. brings a DIY attitude and electrifying stage presence to every show. Their latest single, "When You’re The Worst You’re The Best", is a chaotic celebration of passion, rebellion, and debauchery—perfect for anyone who refuses to play by the rules.

When You're The Worst You're The Best

The Luckiest Man

The second single from South / East London band Cloud Studies. It's the follow-up to their debut 2024 single ‘Ghosts’.

PRESS RELEASE
============

For Fans of: Dreampop, Shoegaze, Slowdive, Film School, My  Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Stereolab, Beach House, DIIV

Cloud Studies formed in 2024, as means for Adam Cresswell and Martin J Langthorne to explore the sonic possibilities offered by the large arsenal of effects pedals they had acquired.

‘Cloud Cartography’ was the first song written by Adam for the band as a means to set the tone for the direction of their sonic explorations. It was inspired by visits to the Derryveagh Mountains of Donegal in Ireland, and fighting off the elements as sheets of rain beat down upon the mountainous landscape.

The song is about trying to make sense of a constantly changing world and our efforts to document and understand it.  In a library, the protagonist meets someone attempting to map and catalogue the clouds. They find themselves standing together on a mountainside battling the elements, their undaunted optimism constantly challenged by the impossible nature of their undertaking. 

Sonically the song presents a panoramic, full-spectrum wall of sound; dreamy synths, layers of reverb-drenched guitars from Adrian Taylor and Martin J Langthorne, ethereal vocals from Adam Cresswell, underpinned by a tight insistent rhythm from drummer Nat Guest.

Cloud Studies:
Adam Cresswell, Vocals, bass; Nat Guest, Drums; Martin J Langthorne, Guitars; Adrian Taylor, Guitars

Produced by Adam Cresswell.
Mastered by Toby Campen Mastering.
Recorded at Nan's House Studios (Liverpool) and Bellasonic Sounds (London).

Cloud Cartography

CLOUD STUDIES: Cloud Cartography

‘Who I Am’ delves into the psyche of a delusional, narcissistic man trapped in a false reality. Gritty, hazy, and dark, the track explores his inability to see his own flaws, instead blaming his past lovers for not understanding him. With furious choruses, honest vocals, brooding gothic melodies, and conflicted lyrics, this alt-rock anthem paints a haunting portrayal of self-deception and a fractured identity.


Who I Am

"I don't think I've ever heard - or played - anything on the radio before that goes from sounding like a souped-up Rotary Connection to Gang Of Four within the space of three minutes. It's heady stuff; an intoxicating international groove... just really, really good...really, really enjoyed that..." Adam Walton (musician and presenter) on BBC Radio Wales, 1st March 2025
