I’m joined by Chris today, and we kick things off with some smooth reggae from one of our favourites—Manchester’s Madam Claude—with Part of Your Show. You might remember them from episode 2 and episode 7. They’ve just announced a big show in Whitby, so head over to their Instagram for all the details. There’s also a great piece about them on the Band on the Wall site—definitely worth a read.

Next up, back from episode 9, the outstanding London-based Amity returns with his new single To Be Known. It’s lush, cinematic, and beautifully crafted—Rufus Wainwright fans, take note. He’s got all the pieces in place with a stellar website you’ll want to explore.

From Leeds, we’ve got Pleasure Centre and their track Favourite (not F Song as I stated in the podcast), which ticks all the boxes—Radiohead-esque vibes, thoughtful production, and a really tight performance. Their site is loaded with interviews and videos, but we’re still waiting on some live dates. Sign up to their mailing list and keep an eye out.

Rounding things off, we head to California for Meteor Street and The Cult of Pure Feeling. A father/daughter duo recording out of their basement in Van Nuys, their sound is raw, powerful, and totally unique. Check out their website to dig into their story.

As always, I talk passionately about the live music scene and the vital role independent venues play in supporting artists like these. Let’s keep it alive.

Thanks so much for listening—if you’ve discovered a new favourite artist today, let us know! Don’t forget to follow, rate, and share the podcast with people who love discovering great new music. Every little bit helps these amazing artists reach more ears.
