Paves

London four-piece PAVES are set to release their new single Baby via the reformed This Feeling Records, digitally as of now and on limited edition 7” vinyl on November 17th.

BABY is an upbeat, ready made guitar classic that wouldn’t be out of place in a feel good, Hollywood rock n roll movie. Speaking on the track, the band said, "Baby went down a blast all summer. It stood out at every festival we performed at, as the track punters got into the most. It's got that summer vibe, so we only felt it natural to release it with This Feeling who have supported big time from day one."

Needless to say Ralph's giving the track a spin on the Radio KC Indie Show Sunday 29th October so remember to tune in from 5-7pm on rkc.noip.me internet radio.

Paves are the London faces of Britain’s new rock and roll movement. When they’re not bringing their Stonesesque swagger, with what Clash describe as “wah-wah flavoured guitar matched to some scorching vocals", live on stage, they’re out nearly every night in support of their musical peers. Literally, the faces of the scene; Luke Shield (Lead Vocals and Guitar), Mike Whitaker (Lead Guitar), Perry Read (Bass and Backing Vocals), Tom Triggs (Drums).


This Feeling Records is the instinctive next step for one of the UK’s most influential names in guitar music promotion and have played their part in the rise of the likes of Catfish and The Bottlemen, Blossoms, Cabbage, and more.

The London 4-piece have gone down a storm at Isle of Wight Festival, TRNSMT & Tramlines, playing to packed stages.

Catch Paves live over the new few months.

Equinox

Ralph covered the book release by the mysterious Yorkshire poet Equinox last year with the promise that an album featuring works from the book would appear featuring collaborations with a range of musicians.

Well that time has come to pass as It's Hard To Be Happy When Your Head Is Full Of Sin is now available in digital and CD formats. 

Nothing overly unusual in that I hear you say, however Equinox has teamed up with a number of indie musicians (including a good few Ralph's Life favourites) to provide unique soundscapes to his spoken word. More unusual still is the track Goodnight Vienna which features the skills of none other than synth pop doyen Vince Clarke.




The written word of Equinox takes no prisoners with subject matter ranging from male suicide to prostitution but with equal amounts of undying love and devotion, and its setting to music overlaid with the Northern intonations of Equinox gives the work another more meaningful aural texture.

Twist my arm for a favourite track from an album that is as intriguing as it is clever and it'd have to be Kiss (sorry Vince) which features Feral Five with its sleazy electro back-beat giving it a radio-friendly disco feel.

Contributing artists are: Ashley Reaks, Feral Five, Dementio13, Ceiling Demons, Rosie Bans, Snippet, Vince Clarke, Radio Europa, Nat Lyon, Pulco, Jay Stansfield, Deux Furieuses, Superhand and Will Harris.
