New Music Video: Lion Star – Ella On The Run

London-based, alt-pop artist ELLA ON THE RUN unveils the music video for ‘Star Lion‘, taken from her War of Words EP out now.

Her debut single Golden Boys was placed onto Glastonbury’s long list for emerging artists in 2014. Last October, she was filmed and interviewed by the BBC who visited her on the set of her single War of Words about age restrictions on music videos.

War of Words was supported well, most recently by BBC Introducing. Ella is heading to LA this month to begin recording her new EP.

Today’s song is Release/Repeat by British four-piece rock band THE FIREFLYS. The single is set for release on 26th May.

I remember reviewing the Runcorn rockers’ 2013 album, Embers of the Autumn on Nothing But Hope and Passion (NBHAP) Music Magazine and it’s SO intriguing to see what they have been up to….

Since the release of Embers of the Autumn (5th August), THE FIREFLYS played at, O2 Academy Liverpool, their biggest biggest headline to date, as well as enjoying the media attention. The morning after their performance at the O2, they played a live set in the BBC Merseyside studio and also earned a double page spread in one of the biggest publications near their home town, The Liverpool Echo.

Embers Of The Autumn entered the iTunes Chart at #8 upon hours of its release, and entered the Radio Caroline Chart at Number 35 and is currently at #17. The single Hummingbird was played on BBC introducing by Dave Monks prior to the release of the LP.

As I was typing out their achievements, It left a tear in my eye (don’t laugh!)

Moving swiftly on… have a listen to Release/Repeat. Their trademark of that easy-cruising rock will be added to their ever-expanding list of achievements. If you’re really digging the track, show your appreciation and say hi to them at @thefireflys.

Song of the Day: Closing the Journal (ft Pip Mountjoy) – Ceiling Demons

Today’s song is Closing the Journal by British alternative hip-hop duo CEILING DEMONS. The track is coming from their thought- provoking LP, Dual Slides, released in December.

CEILING DEMONS consists of Yorkshire-born twin brothers MCs Psy Ceiling & Dan Demon – and let me tell you they are a force to be reckoned with. Upon its release, Dual Sides received raving reviews in their hometown.

No doubt their bizarrely angelic stamp on hip-hop will spread across the globe in no time. Just have a listen to Closing the Journal as it’s the perfect introduction to their bitter/sweet fusion with let-the-truth be-told and hard-hitting lyrics. The production is topped off by BBC Introducing’s unsigned singer/songwriter Pip Mountjoy’s soothing vocals.

The hip-hoppers were described as a cross between THE STREETS’ Mike Skinner and DJ SHADOW – the truth is they’re definitely in a league of their own. If you’re feeling Closing the Journal, pop over to their Bandcamp page and check out the album.

You can say hi to the guys @CeilingDemons.

Star Song: Positive Change – Bobb Shaw

Today’s song is Positive Change by British indie rocker BOBB SHAW. The single is coming from the EP Stars Will Fall, released in June.

Stars Will Fall has made quite an impact, as the first single from the EP, Whiskey was aired on BBC Introducing Leeds – just a few hours of its release! Days later, he was approached by the producer of The Voice UK to attend an audition.

No doubt his fruitful journey is set to continue with Positive Change. This laid-back single, which is topped off by this guy’s soothing and slightly husky vocals, is perfect for relaxing on a hot summer’s day.

If you like the sound of Positive Change, it’s worth heading over to his SoundCloud page to check out his EP.
