Odds Lane entertain us with seven outstanding tracks


http://www.reverbnation.com/oddslane/songs

These songs showcase the band's powerful vocals and lively instrumental beats.

As Odds Lane's music is oh so entertaining, its really difficult to choose a favourite song as they're just that good.

Odds Lane have joined forces with their former room mate and Ruf Records recording artist Mike Zito to work on a new album.

This will be the follow up to their debut album and the first time Mike and Odds Lane have joined forces since releasing Blue Room in 1998.

Both Odds Lane and Mike Zito would really appreciate any donations you can provide in order to make their dream of a second album reality.

The band were formed in 2003 by Singer/Songwriter Doug Byrkit and his longtime musical partner Brian Zielie. The musical duo have known each other since they formed their first band way back during High School.

During their career they have had the privilege of performing along side Lighthouse, Pete Yorn and Walter Trout as well as also touring far afield as Korea and Japan.

Their first EP caught not only the attention of the Memphis Regional Grammy Chapter but also the Legendary Sun Studio.

As seasoned music fans know, this was the studio which kicked off Elvis's illustrious career and also saw legends such as Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, U2 and Maroon 5 grace the presence of its recording booths.

More uplifting music courtesy of Resonance


Reverie is a uplifting melody that conjures image of unwinding on a beautiful and exotic Hawaiian or Caribbean Beach.

The smooth guitar arrangement and maracas will reel you in and leave you wanting much much more.

The band describes Reverie as not only a dreamy samba/calypso number inspired by a flight over the Andes Mountains but also a track packed with lyrical subtlety offset by a party vibe and solid guitar soloing. 

Reverie is recorded by Dave Moore (Part of the X-Factor/BGT Sound Team and he also worked on Skyfall) and mastering duties were the responsibility of John Davis (Led Zeppelin, U2, Lana Del Ray and Paloma Faith).

Resonance have made it their goal to really put themselves on the musical map.

After a brief musical interlude Resonance are back on the scene with some new beats


Mister Policeman is a catchy tune that grabs your attention from the first beat.

The guitar arrangements are as slick as one would expect and Radhika's vocals are on point as always.

In their own words Mister Policeman sits squarely in the funk bracket, opening with a rhythmic, guitar laced groove and never letting up. With a brazen, infectious beat and a selection of dynamic rhythms, it's dark but fun - catchy and energetic enough to turn an acoustic performance of the song into an impromptu jam at a recent gig.

Traces delivers chill out goodness courtesy of The Light Dreams


The Light Dreams latest album Traces is 12 tracks of chill out goodness galore. With calm relaxing and ethereal electro beats, Traces is a superbly produced musical work of art and with catchy pop hooks thrown into the arrangement this album is a real treat to the ears.

Whilst I found the whole album a delight to listen to, there were two tracks which really stood out to me. Awakening entertained from start to finish with its delightful arrangements and the mesmerizing Sea View round off this wonderful album.

The Light Dreams is the brain child of Sheffield based Electronic Music genius Alex Storer who has been producing music of this genre as Light Dreams since 2006.

It was in 2007 that The Light Dreams truly found their sound and style with the release of their debut album Into The Light. The Light Dreams released the second album Mechanical Drive in 2009 and after a creative break for three years, the third album Inferno was released in 2012.

2012 was a busy year for Alex as he also collaborated with David A Hardy on a newish soundtrack for the 1957 Russian Film Road To The Stars.

Alex also had the honour of receiving an invitation to the first honourary interstellar musician for the newly established initiative for Interstellar Studies.

In 2013 Alex was inspired by his love for Sci-fi to produce Future Worlds, which combines electronic and orchestral music to create a stunning sound track.

At the end of 2013, Alex released a special album Beyond The Boundary, which he had composed for the Initiative for Interstellar Studies and this leads into the release of Traces.

Alt/Modern Rock Superstars The Actions



The Actions released their Indefensible EP, which features 5 tracks. The EP is full of energetic beats and smooth vocals.


My fave tracks on the EP are The Echo and Counting All Days, I really love Marta's vocals and also the memorable instrumental beats.

You can really sense how psychedelia has influenced this EP, The Actions also draw their musical influences from genres such as Trip Hop, Dark and Electronica.

The Actions are lead by female vocalist Silty (Marta) and the band have already made their mark on the music scene by opening for the likes of legends such as R.E.M, Green Day and Garbage.

The Actions musical journey began with success in Battle Of The Band competitions and their first demo helped build their profile in the UK, with the band receiving arousing reception in the historic Cavern Club in Liverpool for two years running.

This led to them getting airplay on Radio 1's The Essential Selection with Pete Tong playing Planet Funk's remix of The Real Thing. The band's international popularity keeps going from strength to strength with each passing day.

A Blues Inspired Melody courtesy of Ten Ton Man



Clunk of Change is a Bluesque number with semi haunting instrumentals with melancholic lyrics and when you read his bio it instantly becomes obvious why.


https://soundcloud.com/tentonman/chunk-of-change-1

Ten Ton Man describes his music as heartfelt and emotional and he doesn't shy when it comes to dealing with themes such as death, guilt, anger but ultimately redemption.

The musical roots lie in lead vocalist Paul Livornese's personal struggle in finding his own muse, whilst also having to cope with the loss of his father, past unsuccessful music ventures and the key to connecting with the opposite sex.
