Myopia – Unendable

This is an exciting new band from Essex with a single that is both beautiful and powerful.

It builds from a quiet soulful intro into an uplifting intense section showing that Myopia is a band with strong vocals and excellent musicianship.

The band has a new album coming soon and will be visiting the area to play at the Windsor Trooper on June 1 and University of Reading on June 2. They will also be at Wokingham Festival on Bank Holiday Monday August 28 – https://linktr.ee/myopiaofficial

Spriggan Mist – The Portal

One of the standouts on Spriggan Mist’s 2017 album, The Portal was the title track and since then it’s been a live favourite.

It was released before current vocalist, Fay Brotherhood, joined the band and became such a brilliant front person for them.

The track has therefore now been remixed and mastered by Aaron Cilia, with Fay providing new lead vocals.

It sounds great with the vocals combining perfectly with the melodic guitar riff to enhance this Spriggan classic – https://www.sprigganmist.com/

Sean McGowan – Casanova

Southampton-born singer, Sean McGowan, has built up an impressive reputation through his extensive gigs and his songs which focus on the truth and reality of modern life.

His new album, ‘Who on Earth’ is another great collection with songs of quality, like this one, delivered with musical and vocal passion.

There’s a chance to see Sean perform live when he appears with his full band at a Club Velocity show at Reading’s Rising Arts Centre on Friday, May 26 – https://www.facebook.com/seanmcgowanmusicuk
