The post Grr Ant – Hope Is Not Lost appeared first on MyRockNews.

Lovestruck is the debut single of South London-based solo artist and multi-instrumentalist Grr Ant.

Heavily influenced by Phil Cordell’s Red Lady, Lovestruck was one of the first tracks written with this vision in mind and is the first single to be released in the build-up to Grr Ant’s debut album Once Upon a Time in Battersea this spring.

released March 11, 2024

Written, recorded, mixed and mastered by Grant Gillingham.
Bass performed by Benedict Olie.

The post ELLiS·D – Humdrum (Single) appeared first on MyRockNews.

Formed in March 2023, SoftTop began as the alias and latest brainchild of songwriter Miles Goodall.

Pooling together elements of Miles and the band’s influences (Andy Shauf, Matt Maltese and Steely Dan to name a few) SoftTop pairs honest story-like lyrics with generous decorations from a seven piece band (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, Clarinet, Cello, and Trumpet). SoftTop’s music aims to pull at your heart strings, even if only very gently. The band of multi-instrumentalists have individually mastered their crafts across the other projects they feature in (Hutch, Ideal Living, Sad Dads, TINMAN, Slant, BobbySmiles) and are all songwriters themselves, providing a unique balance of written parts that truly serve each song.

The post Soft Top – Runaway (Single) appeared first on MyRockNews.

Following the release of the EP, ELLiS·D will be embarking on a seventeen-date UK tour from 17th October starting at The Craufurd Arms in Milton Keynes before a run of shows supporting THE DSM IV, a slot at Nottingham’s Karma Fest and culminating in hometown headline shows at The Victoria in London and Brighton’s The Green Door Store.

Recording the EP in six days at Hackney Road Studios with producer Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip, Jenny Beth), ELLiS·D serves up a sound at once both heavy and light, bright and dark, twisting between modern and vintage sensibilities with a flamboyant flair.

Having already teased lead single ‘Straitjacket Blues’ earlier in the year to much acclaim, including repeated airplay from BBC Radio 6 (Tom Robinson) and leading to support slots for Razorlight at Brighton Dome and Hammersmith Apollo, the release of ‘I Want You To Know’ further cements their unique blend of emotive lyrical sensibilities and psych-driven hooks taken from the much anticipated EP.

The post ELLiS·D – I Want You To Know (Hullo, Reality! E.P.) appeared first on MyRockNews.

Self recorded in between dates of his UK headline tour with producer Maximilian in Brighton’s secret DIY studio space known to its inhabitants only as ‘The Carwash’, this new offering from one of Brighton’s most prolific songwriters bursts from the frame with a nervous yet assertive energy that has all the hallmarks of an artist that has truly found his feet.

Having released his debut EP and three further singles since the turn of the year, the drummer turned multi-instrumentalist caps off a busy 2022 with the five-track ‘EP II’ following firmly in the footsteps of prolific inspirations Ty Segall and Oh Sees. ELLiS·D has never been one to be easily categorised and ‘EP II’ is no different, touching upon influences from the wonky art-punk stylings of Talking Heads to the rhythmic snarl of ‘Let Love In’ era Nick Cave, whilst also showing why he is renowned in hometown Brighton as one of the city’s most creative drummers with nods to both Jaki Lebeizeit (CAN) and Faye Milton (Savages) mixing with ELLiS·D’s own unmistakeable playing style.

Tracks ‘Duress’ and ‘Take Note’ underpin the frenzied high-octane approach to much of the EP, as ‘Sleeping Sun’ builds surely in suspense before unravelling into a pure delightful chaos. ELLiS·D’s drumming prowess comes to the fore on eight-minute ‘Rosie’ as the track veers wildly from one section to another with nods to modern day kraut rock as well as early King Gizzard neo psychedelia.

Recorded entirely in separate live takes by ELLiS·D and produced by Maximilian (guitarist in ELLiS·D’s live outfit), the DIY approach that has encapsulated his discography so far is on show for all to see here but with a noticeable step up in production values as the pair draw upon their own self-recording experiences to create a feel that rejects trying to emulate the ‘polished’ post-punk sound that permeates alternative radio stations, but fully embraces his raw and powerful live performance.
