I See Orange – Love Me Too
As well as the great venues in our RaW area there are very good ones in the surrounding area too. One of those is the Acoustic Couch in Bracknell which puts on great nights including many which showcase new up-and-coming artists.
At one of the shows recently, headlined by local faves Alphaline, a band from Swindon came to play. They are an exciting three-piece band called I See Orange and they create original 90s-inspired grunge pop rock.
This is a great song from their EP released last year called, Lonesome Joy.
Due to future redevelopment, The Acoustic Couch, will have to move locations at some point but in the meantime, it’s well worth getting along to check out what they are putting on and we wish them all the best in their search for a new home – https://linkr.bio/ISEEORANGE
The Mezz – Now I Found You
Indie poppers, The Mezz, are building quite a buzz with their live shows and their quality single releases. That buzz is spreading far beyond their Oxford home town.
We see that they are playing in Glasgow at the end of April and they’ve certainly played some great shows in Reading. Have a listen to their new EP which features this song as title track.
It’s a wonderful uplifting power pop anthem – https://found.ee/slYBM
TV Yellow – Friday
Here’s another new melodic indie band who sound rather good on their latest single, Friday, and we are looking forward to their appearance at Wokingham Festival in August.
The band was formed by vocalist Toby Taylor from Newbury and guitarist Joe Smith when the pair met at music college.
If this single is anything to go by, the duo certainly can create upbeat songs with catchy choruses – https://linktr.ee/tv_yellow
