What bands should I be checking out? I still listen to mainly 90s, Oasis, Stone Roses, Verve, OCS etc. Personal opinion and no offence but not a fan of The K's, The Lathums,The Snuts, Fontaine DC, The Reytons. I do like Holy Coves, Senses, The Institutes, so similar to those 🤘🏼♥️
@metpoliceuk
So stop and search was criticised because a high number of black males were stopped by police, this is apparently racist, yet knife crime is massively over represented amongst black males yet to point this out is also racist? 🤔
16 👀🤣🤣🤣 C'mon people we can do better than this. Get me to at least 20 by the end of the day! I'll buy you a freddo each. I promise (please note: may not keep promise)

in Manchester tonight. For a few hours I was a teenager again, I was in my own little world but with 23k others of a similar mindset. Epic, biblical. Soon Realised I'm not a teenager anymore by pulling my hamstring walking down the steps to get out 🙄
Thank you to everyone who's recommended new bands to listen too, the reaction has blown me away! Apologies if I haven't replied to everyone, but I'll definitely make my way through all the suggestions. Hopefully you've found your new favourite band from this too 🤘🏼♥️
Over 60k views and 300 comments on yesterday's post 😳 some great suggestions, obviously I've not had a chance to listen to them all yet, so I've created a playlist of my favourite bands and ones recommended yesterday that I really liked 🤘🏼♥️

*Competition time* As a thank you for streaming my new song "Whispers of Love" I'd like to give away a CD of my debut album.
To win, listen to the track (proof needed 🤣) and guess how many listens it will be on tomorrow. Closest to the number wins 🤘🏼❤️
*NEW RELEASE*
My album "Infinity Is Not Forever" is available now. Includes the brand new title track, aswell as the singles, Twin Flame and out of my mind. Definitely (maybe) a top album of 2024 and a must hear 🤘🏼❤️

Really enjoying checking out all the suggestions, I've definitely realised I've got a specific sound I like, again, no disrespect to the bands I'm not keen on because they're all supremely talented in their own right. Either way it's great to see guitar music is alive and well!
Think I'll start posting a song of the day. Today's track "Say Something" is by English indie rock band,Haven. Released in 2002, Haven were championed by Smiths guitarist, Johnny Marr. The band released two albums, the last being in 2004. Tuuunnneeeee
Three years since
@IncidentVela
released our first single. Sadly, I doubt if we'll record any new music again but what a little journey 2020 was, Steve Lamacq, John Kennedy, BBC, RadioX, it was surreal. Even an offer from a major major record label which we turned down. Madness
Due to a recent security breach I've lost everybody I was following, I've started the process again by adding the other Vela lads first (and the band obviously) I'll get you all back soon 🤘🏼❤️

I'm currently stuck on 39 followers on Spotify so if you could help a grumpy, fast approaching middle aged, man, very happy, by giving me a follow, then I'd very much appreciate it, Takes 2 seconds (not accurate) there's some bloody good songs there too!

happy to educate you more if you like? Your new single sounds like a 1994 song by a girl group named shampoo. "Ooh oh were in trouble" hebe confidence but don't be a dick

recorded this track during lockdown from home using mobile phones and laptops. The song was picked up by none other than Steve Lamacq and

and played on national radio! A band that truly shone a beacon of light in dark times!
Some absolute great shouts for new band/artist recommendations, thank you, keep them coming.quite a few I'm familiar with,but a few I wasn't, there really is some talent coming through.Currently listening to

they've previously passed me by but they sound class 🤘🏼♥️
Today's song of the day is "People help the people" by English indie rock band, Cherry Ghost. Interestingly, Cherry Ghost originally started as the alias for solo artist, Simon Aldred before eventually morphing into a full band. Tuuunnneeeee 🤘🏼♥️
Might not sound a lot. 114 listens, but I'm delighted with the response to "Mirrored Skies" to put in to context my entire back catalogue, 27 songs, has less than 600 since being released a year ago, 25 of them under 50 plays in total so thank you to everyone that has listened ♥️
Anybody know who or where I can submit music too for reviews, radio plays etc? Any help would be much appreciated. Feel free to share🤘🏼❤️ Thanking you kindly

Afternoon, just a quick update, you may have noticed that I've removed all my music from streaming sites, this is due to me re recording the majority of tracks as the quality was shit and didn't do the songs justice. They'll reappear soon, I'm about half way through 🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️
Today's song of the day is by English indie rock back, Thirteen senses, released in 2004, this was the first track off their debut album, The invitation. Interesting fact,Thirteen Senses are the only Cornish band to have a top 20 single. This one. TUUNNEE
My new EP "Mirrored Skies" has officialy been released early on Spotify. Have a listen and if you have already, What's everyone's favourite track so far?

steelworks. At the height of its power its employed nearly 20'000, including my Dad for 40+ years. Today it employs 4'000, both my brothers still work there. They now plan to cut a further 3'000 jobs. It's a proud town but a dark day 👊🏼
While the rest of the EP is doing great, somehow only 49 people have listened to this absolute beauty 😳 easily one of the best songs you'll hear from an unsigned act. Cost about £5 in electricity to make as well, no expensive studio needed ♥️🤘🏼
Big thank you to
@amazingradio
for playing my song "Infinity Is Not forever" on their show, almost seems to sound better on the radio. Listened in my car on my break in work, it's minus 7 out there so wrap up and careful you don't slip on your arse 🤘🏼❤️🥶🥶

Disgusting comments by the coach. Maybe he's the one who needs to improve. The whole point of children's sport is to develop them, if he doesn't feel he can offer that support then he should go. I would remove my child from the team if this was the management's attitude.
I'm delighted to announce that I'll be releasing a 6 track EP titled "Mirrored Skies" if you could click on the link and pre save it that would be very much appreciated 🤘🏼♥️
