ELM TREE CIRCLE
For Fans Of: PUP / Tiny Moving Parts / Modern Baseball
Skate, Punk and Heartbreaks are the first associations that come to mind whilst listening to Elm Tree Circle.
Released on May, 11th 2018 through Krod Records “The Good Life” is a wonderful piece of modern emopunk that inherits all the classic influences of their 2000s pop-punk heroes paired with a good touch of emotional lyrics, melancholic chords and distinct vocal lines that spin in your head after the first listen.

WHO ARE THE Y ?
Press Release
Elm Tree Circle have evolved to a one of a kind fan favourite with their first single and top track “Feel The Burn“ gathering over 690 000 plays on Spotify since its release.
The press is equally impressed and shares great reviews for the band that has relentlessly been touring the whole world, playing shows in Europe, the UK, Asia and Australia whilst sharing the stage with such iconic acts as Pears, The Ataris and Such Gold.
FLOW
“Flow” is about restlessness and the urge to move on. That’s why the song also doesn’t allow to sit still with it’s upbeat drums and catchy guitar riff.
Originally the band tried to play a song of the first album when they messed up and played this combination of drums and guitar instead. It was instantly clear that this was probably the best fuck up so far.
ALL ABOUT YOU
This single is about a single telling a story about “staying friends” with an ex. We’ve almost all been there...
You tell them how great you’re doing just to get that satisfaction and another reason to talk to them. After all you realize it’s just been part of this crazy addiction that got way out of hand.
A couple of cringe selfies and drunk texts later you begin to regret this quick and easy fix. Now you think there’s only one way out of this: A big trip to somewhere far far away. Just to clear your head.
NEW AL BUM "NO FOMO"

Press Release
I GOT IT
The song I Got It describes one of those moments life seems to kick you whilst you’re down. When everything goes to shits you just wanna say fuck it and burn the whole place to the ground.
Of course we are exaggerating but who can’t relate to that. The story in the song is about someone who just found a disturbing message on a phone.
Turns out it’s his/her partner's phone who just lost an affair. A crappy way to find out that your partner was cheating. The story continues at a gas station where the downward spiral continues.
It’s a semi-fictional story that emphasizes the theme of our upcoming album “No Fomo” aka no fear of missing out.
Our sophomore album takes a spin at the modern phenomenon of never feeling enough in a world of constant connectivity in social media.
Gravity Machine
Gravity Machine are two members - multi-instrumentalist Niall Parker (from Devon) and
drummer Bob Shoesmith (from Sussex) who combine a huge range of influences.
From the cornerstones of heavy rock, progressive
rock, electronica and acoustic styles all adding to the band’s distinctive
sound.
Losing his wife to cancer in 2016, and taking
inspiration from Neil Peart’s “Ghost Rider” book (detailing the Rush drummer’s
journey through grief), Niall wrote a large canon of material following
this - "Creativity seems the best response to events like that - I'd
pretty much stopped playing prior to this...but the songs emerged,
one-by-one, each one adding it's weight to their collective demand to
be heard" Niall said.
Recognising that the wide ranges of genres and
influences that the material covered required outstanding production expertise,
Niall contacted Dartmoor-based producer Pete Miles (Martin Grech, Bring Me
The Horizon, Canterbury, Architects) at Middle Farm Studios; who after hearing
the demos offered to produce the album in a series of session
spanning 2018 and 2019.
Performed primarily by multi-instrumentalist and
vocalist Niall Parker, the resulting album features drums from Bob Shoesmith,
contributions from Pete Miles, vocalist Kat Marsh (Bring Me The Horizon,
Choir Noir, We Are The Ocean) bassist/engineer Chris Edney and Niall’s
daughters.
“This was not an easy album to make - I knew it
had to have absolute, unshakeable integrity and authority - with that in mind,
boldly crossing genres, or even using genres to portray specific emotions
was an important creative step, liberating the approach to allow that goal to
come through. Anything that didn’t serve the goal was ruthlessly discarded”
said Niall.
Gravity Machine have released two initial singles
- "Dreamtime" (played by Sarah Gosling on BBC Introducing
Devon & Cornwall) and "It's Summer" before releasing the
album on the 31st March 2020 on their own Zyse
Records imprint.
To date, the two videos have notched up nearly
160k views across social media platforms, mostly by word of mouth, and
garnering interest across the world.
The album immediately started attracting interest
from specialist media and radio stations and via social media - attracting an
average of 1000 fans a month since the first single release.
The follow-up to "Red" is already in
the writing stage, and pre-production starts later this year. The band are
hoping to play live shows once venues are back open.
ABOUT THE SONG:
In summer 2017, Niall went to Sussex to jam with
Bob - to reinvigorate their musical chemistry. Amongst two or three riffs taken
up, "Lifting Mountains" emerged more-or-less complete from
those sessions. Niall said "this song pretty much just came straight out
the gates, as a completely realised song; everything that characterises my
playing interweaving with Bob's drumming was all there - all the musical
chemistry and magic right there, in the room”.
Taking home an outstanding demo (captured by
Broakoak's Harvey Summers), Niall was able to expand on that original
"guitars & drums" arrangement, adding lyrics that captured the
feeling of having to greet and embrace loss. One of the easier songs to capture
in the album recording sessions. "One song I'm really looking forward to
playing live" Niall said.

Mitchell Kersley
Mitchell Kersley is an Alt-Country artist from the UK, who through his
music, provides a modern take on traditional storytelling. He was born and
raised in the British countryside and was exposed to variety of genres of
music. However, as he got older, his musical taste began to gravitate
predominantly to one genre in particular: Country. As soon as he was big enough
to hold a guitar, he began learning and writing songs. In his teens, he
dedicated his time to the study of music at both College and University. It was
here after that he really honed in on his brand of Country sound.
He became profoundly inspired by the likes of Brad Paisley, George
Strait, Chris Stapleton and Garth Brooks. A trip to music city in 2019 for the
CMA Fest certainly cemented his deep passion for this timeless music and lit
the fuse for the creation of his first EP: Dusk. His debut single and third
track on his EP: “If You Need Someone to Love You” follows a somewhat more
contemporary sound than some of the other tracks, with electric drums
underpinning the fingerpicked melody of a hollow body guitar. The lyrical
content revolves around someone who is desperate to give their heart away to
another who does not necessarily want to take it.
Despite the message being one of potentially futile yearning; the song
is a “get on your feet”, upbeat track that echoes the modern Pop-Country sounds
of Nashville.

LYRICS
If you're tired of that same old, pretend to smile love,
The kind that makes you feel like you're not good enough,
If you're not familiar with the notion of being swept off your feet,
And you're missing the spark with each guy you meet
You may not understand the words I say, but believe me though
I'll put it all on the line, I just want you to know
If you need someone to love you,
I'll be right there if you want me to,
If you need someone to love you,
I'll be right there if you want me to,
If you're tired of being lonely, you can call me, you can call me,
If you're tired of being lonely you can call me,
Someone to love you
When they don't understand the shattered fragments of your heart,
And how to piece them together to stop you falling apart,
When you can't find someone, who will let go of your past,
See I don't care if I'm not the first as long as I'm your last
You may not understand the words I say, but believe me though
I'll put it all on the line, I just want you to know
If you need someone to love you,
I'll be right there if you want me to,
If you need someone to love you,
I'll be right there if you want me to,
If you're tired of being lonely, you can call me, you can call me,
If you're tired of being lonely you can call me, you can call me,
If you’re tired of being lonely, you can call me, you can call me,
If you’re tired of being lonely, you can call me, you can call me
Someone to love you,
I'll be right there if you want me to,
If you need someone to love you,
I'll be right there if you want me to,
If you're tired of being lonely, you can call me, you can call me,
If
you're tired of being lonely you can call me,
Someone
to love you,
Someone
to love you

Oscar Merry Excites With New Release 'Cower'
London, 24/08/20
Bristol-born Oscar is flying with his latest release 'Cower', taken from his incredible debut EP 'Unfurl'.
'Cower' seamlessly blends through genres to create a melting pot of individuality; unlike anything else. The sound has an infectious charm, driving rhythms and a melody that will make its home inside your head.
Oscar's latest single is explosive. Taking influence from 'Manchester Orchestra' the track is distinct and energetic, the workout track of the EP. It's bold, and Oscar's fusion of sounds will leave you itching for another fix. Thunderous guitars, potent vocals and a build-up that will throw you from your chair.
'Cower' is the rock medicine your ears are craving.
Wild horse
Original Indie Band from East Sussex. Regularly Played on BBC
Introducing.
“One of the most promising new guitar bands we've
come across, Wild Horse just keep getting better.
Their song “CAN’T!” is further proof that well,
they can!”
BBC Introducing - 27th May 2020
“I played a song called
"Can't" by Wild Horse out of England! These young guys kick so
much ass!! OMG! You have to hear this!! I bet you start singing along to it
upon hearing it for the first time. "Can't" really set the mood of
today's show.”
Phil Dupuis of The
Colorado Phil Show: June 3rd 2020
“This Band has copyright on
creativity and clever. This Album, seemingly impossible, is Wild
Horse's best work and one of my favourite Albums of all time. As I
promised, this Album is: SICK SICK SICK and so much SICKER than I
ever imagined.
Mary G Wood of Brecon Indie Reviews 15th July 2020
Wild Horse are a young, exciting English indie
band whose albums & tracks have drawn favourable comparisons with some of
the UK’s very best exports from critics both sides of the pond, but more than
that it is establishing WILD HORSE as its own brand of Indie. At the end of
2019 their tracks were repeatedly played on BBC Introducing & in February
2020 they were invited to perform a live set, they have been a regular feature
ever since.
Wild Horse are prodigious in every way, as Jack
Baldwin (18), Older brother Henry (21) and buddy Ed Barnes (19) have just
released their fourth album, “WE ARE IN AN IDENTITY CRISIS… BUT WE LOVE IT”. A
monster release of 16 of the catchiest songs you are likely to hear this year.
Expect the unexpected, from Pop, Classic Rock, Punky Reggae, Blue eyed Soul,
Dirty Funk, Rap, Latin, and so much more. Yet it flows
perfectly! Beautifully produced and highly recommended by critics
on both sides of the pond.
The East Sussex boys are renowned for an
exciting, powerful stage show, having honed their craft from an early age at
all the iconic venues in London & the South East as well as several
festivals, often playing the same stages as many of their heroes once did.
The reviews or their songs have been brilliant
and extensively played on many radio stations worldwide. Their tracks &
albums are available on all major platforms.
With many original tracks
released and yet more still being written, there is no stopping their
creativity & drive. Their live performance is an experience like no other with
overwhelming presence and promiscuous energy which keeps audiences in the palm
of their hands. Impressive considering their average age is only 19…
· Original British Indie Band.
· Two Brothers as Front Men.
· Formed for over 5 years & released 4 Albums
& 3 EP’s.
· Average Band Member age still 19 years old.
· Played Live on BBC Introducing
· Biggest Influences – Rolling Stones, The Who,
Fleetwood Mac, Hendrix, Arctic Monkeys, The Hives.
