Split the Dealer – Capsize

Here’s an artist who has been in every one of our Top 20 listings of the year so far and he’s likely to do that again this year judging by this new single.

It’s another brilliant recording and is the first since he announced his signing to Wolves Records, a record label set up by Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.

We’ve loved all of Split the Dealer’s releases to date, but this single does feel like the start of big things.

Let’s hope it is, as it would be well deserved – https://beacons.ai/splitthedealer

One Last Day – Stay Away From Me

It’s another artist from the local area that is progressing and getting known further afield.

We’ve featured this Bracknell-based band already this year but this single is definitely worthy of getting them featured again. It’s another slice of well played powerful but melodic rock.

The band are touring throughout the UK in spring and summer including a Reading date on July 22 at Facebar and an appearance at Wokingham Festival on August 28 – https://linktr.ee/onelastday

Ghost Dance – Down to the Wire

We go back in time now to the late 1980s with an anthem from gothic rock band Ghost Dance.

The band split not long after the release of the album from which this is taken, Stop the World.

They reformed in 2019 and have a brand-new album coming out next month.

They will be visiting Reading on May 4 to play the Facebar at a Club Velocity / New Mind Promotions show – https://ghost-dance.co.uk/

Deva St. John – The Curse

Deva just released her debut EP, Nauseous Ad Nauseum from which this is taken and it’s no surprise that every song is excellent.

Deva has a BBC Introducing show at Purple Turtle on April 20 – https://www.facebook.com/dayvasaintjohn/

Azure – Spark Madrigal

Modern prog from a Brighton-based band that will be visiting on August Bank Holiday Monday to headline the second stage at Wokingham Festival.

The band have been championed by Prog Magazine – https://www.facebook.com/azuresongs

Morass of Molasses – Terra Nova

These Reading rockers are currently on a UK tour which will see them in their hometown at Reading’s Facebar this Friday, April 14 – https://www.facebook.com/MorassOfMolasses

Elucidate – Take It

It’s the new single from Elucidate, a Reading-based Alt-Rock band, and it’s an exciting song with a driving rhythm section, great riff, and energetic emotive vocals.

They will be appearing at Wokingham Festival in August – https://linktr.ee/ElucidateUK

Who Ate All The Crayons – Alive

This Reading band are supporting Deva St.John on April 20 at Purple Turtle and will be at Wokingham Festival – https://linktr.ee/whoateallthecrayons

Rila’s Edge – Share the Night

Here’s a band on the rise with their latest single, Share the Night. They will be at Wokingham Festival in August – https://www.rilasedge.com/

Spacehopper – Pure Essence

With their colourful fun style, their trance and dub sounds and tracks as good as this new single on our Magick Eye Records label are sure to get everyone up and dancing at Wokingham Festival – https://www.spacehoppermusic.com/
