2 ... Desert Ships
Ships Desert are Composed of Mikey on vocals and guitar, Daniel on bass and vocals with Claude on drums and vocals and then forming in 2012 releasing Their debut album Doll Skin Flag in the same year.
Ralph played the Steel Threads track It Goes On During this week's Indie Show on Radio KC and such was the interest in social media via the kennel His That I was moved to take a closer look.

Listening to North London band One Eyed Wayne is like having a flashback to putting on a Blockheads record (one of Those round, flat, black vinyl things) that's been re-mixed with a bit of UK Subs and no small amount of humor. A case in point is Their latest release After The Break and Accompanying video. It's fast and furious social commentary at its televisually cynical, clever and best punk.
No 5 ..... Braver Than Fiction
Ralph's recently Been listening to a lot of 'proper' music for 'grown ups' and in this category comes the recently released EP King Of Crows by Sheffield band Braver Than Fiction . It's a collection of four live tracks off That September infused vocalist Mel's bluesy vocals against some snazzy Steampacket esque Hammond organ-ising.
Ralph's with with previously blogged Wullae Wright and it's Proved to be The most well read of any over the last couple of years. Needless to say it was good news When Wullae Wright got in touch to say I was releasing 'Superhero' as a single. The story of the song is no less poignant than Wullae Wright 's plaintive voice Which, overlaid on subtle acoustic guitar with an orchestral background is just as heart wrenching as the single's message.
7 ..... TITORS INSIGNIA
Well it's finally here, St Helens band TITORS LOGO are releasing Get Yourself A Name - Their long awaited 11 track follow-up album to Fair City Riots tomorrow. It includes classic rock it out Their track Beg, Plead and Pray Which featured on the Ralph's Life CD for mental health charity Rethink .
No 8 ..... Fragile Creatures
Brighton Seems to be producing a wealth of musical goodness of late and Fragile Creatures are pushing Their Way to the forefront of That trend after an enforced hiatus due to tragic Circumstances. After a successful start to 2013, Including starting to record an album, David Vatchnadze, Their mentor and founder of Indie record label DNVMusic sadly passed away.
With the majority of unsigned bands pushing Their music via the EP recently it's nice to see That a band has the confidence in songwriting Their Ability to produce a complete album of twelve tracks in order That the listener can get a handle on Their current music.
London based, four-piece alt rockers Jingo just that Have Done With the release today of The Art Of Loving. Comprised of husband and wife Jack and Katie Buckett along with friends Chris Smith and Joe Reeves they've compiled some delightfully mean and moody music That highlights Katie's crystal clear vocals.

No 10 ..... Villiers
Ralph s Been keeping an eye on Lancashire lads Villiers for a bit now and, With the imminent release of a Double A Side single (You're Not Alone / Nowhere Left To Run) as a follow up to the excellent 'Dancer', This Seemed as good a time as any to spread the good word musical. They're very much in the same mold as London electro boys Thumpers or Resonate from Sheffield, but with a bit of a mean and moodier edge as shown on 'Dancer'.
