Always Judge A Record By Its Cover

Nanuk - Wolves At My Door In a world full of trends and chasing the next big thing. Sometimes it best just to take a step back, be honest and be yourself.

Aprilann - Bad Friends “Bad Friends is about facing your bad friends, in your head and in real life, as you try to break the habit of hanging out with them. I think a lot of people deal with this ongoing struggle but it stays hidden because it’s a heavy topic to talk about. It was a hard song to finish because of that, but I hope when people hear the song and watch the video they can relate and feel more confident addressing the bad friends in their life.” - Aprilann

Hootgun - Jorriz "The voice mail is my daughter who was messing about with a tiktok effect. I thought that it sounded great so nicked it😀 . After finishing the original mix, decided to do a stripped down 'ambient' version and a radio edit for the release, inspired by 12"vinyl that have a few mixes of a track on them. I'd been going through my record collection, mixing ,passing time at the start of this "lockdown" we've all been going through and it obviously influenced me. The Radio edit payed off too, with airplay on BBC introducing here in the UK. Finally the name? Well I guess that was influenced by lockdown too as "Jorriz" is what my son calls our prime minister. "Jorriz Bonson" (Boris Johnson)" Jorriz by Hootgun

Demeter - The Bit, The Bridle Demeter are Kate Rivera, Ian McNally, Dan Bloch, Tim Bustle and John Mason. "The Bit, The Bridle" is an apocalyptic dance-rock track reminiscent of The Strokes and Sunflower Bean with a chorus that makes you move. A catchy gem meant to get you through the nights that feel like the end of the world -- the chorus says, "Hold me like glass when it all goes down, 'cause it all goes down someday." It's about the voice of self-sabotage, turmoil, change, fear, and how we can turn to each other in vulnerability to overcome anything. “The Bit, The Bridle” is the follow up to the single “Rosa” and the second track of the upcoming The Year of Goodbye, an EP that deals with figuring out one’s path through story, song, and poetry, while mixed-race, female, and living in tumultuous times. &lt;a href="http://thisisdemeter.bandcamp.com/track/the-bit-the-bridle-single"&gt;The Bit, The Bridle - Single by Demeter

Hannah Stannard - Problems (The Acoustic) "My debut single 'Problems - The Acoustic' is probably one of the quickest songs I have written to date. I remember sitting down in my bedroom with just my guitar and some chords. I had so much to say that I had been feeling for such a long time I just didn't know how to say it. Then all of a sudden the lyrics and the melody was all there. I knew as soon as I wrote it this had to be one of the first songs I release as an Independent Artist. I hope people can connect to this song on as deep of a level as I did. It definitely helped me out of a rough patch. Seeing this song come to life has been one of the best parts for me with this track and I can't thank everyone enough who has streamed and downloaded it already. So a big massive thank you from me!"
