I’m Nick Tann – musician, songwriter, and your guide to the best new music you haven’t heard yet.

Now we are 10 and I think we’re getting the hang of it. Geoff Mull certainly is as he starts us off with Make a Move. Putting his XFactor days behind him Geoff hits us straight between the eyes with this anthemic pop banger. He has a very interesting website with an even more interesting tour schedule. I didn’t realise who our second spot artists Pegasuses were until we looked them up during the show and it’s Dave Miatt and Laura Lamb from Southampton! Dave is a bit of a name in these parts having been a part of Southampton superband Thomas Tantrum . Emily is a delightful slice of folk from a duo that know what they are doing. They have some shows coming up over the next two months that are definitely worth making a date in your diary for. All their dates and more are on their very beautiful website, have a scroll through whilst your listening. Mal come in at third place with a tense and edgy piece, God’s Mighty Irish Telescope. This is a solid piece of art from Mall Hallett and despite being edgy also manages to keep a relaxed and chilled vibe. It says here “From working with legendary producer Tony Visconti to supporting The Clash, Mallett Hallett – AKA Mal the Musician – has lived a creative life far more decorated than most. Originally hailing from Leicester, he’s gone onto appear on some of the world’s most impressive stages (even the Colosseum in Rome), performing with Max Romeo, Ian Hunter (Mott The Hoople), Dawn Penn, Mick Jones (The Clash), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) and has appeared in bands supporting iconic acts such as Talking Heads, The Beastie Boys and many more.” So there you are!

Heron chill and sooth our minds and ears with Transcendental Meditation. UK based writer and producer Heron’s latest from his album “Underground Sky” has overtones and undertones of Prince, Portishead and Beck. He has a lot going on so well worth checking ot his linktree here.

I’m back next week with a guest co presenter and more great tunes. More info on the podcast is available from the website https://nicktannsfreshmusicfix.com/

I’m Nick Tann – musician, songwriter, and your guide to the best new music you haven’t heard yet. 

We are back with number 8 kicking off with the welcome return of Sam Scherdel – If We Danced, a slight move from what we know him for, namely Sheffield’s answer to Bruce Springsteen with a more Rod Stewart vocal I felt. Anyhoo, Danny Watson desribed it as “a heartfelt, country-tinged indie-folk stomper that perfectly captures Sam’s signature blend of charm and grit” and who am I to disagree? Check out this linktree for all things Sam.

As I explain in the show, I had to pull the original track s it was a cover and a cover I can not play so Midlands Janglepop 5 piece “Project Overload” melt our hearts with their latest single “Silhouettes”. It’s 3 minutes of musical charm from what the Coventry Observer describe as “Best New Local Band”. Go to their wonderful website here and drink them all in.

Whist you are scampering around the internet can I remind you to give the podcast a rating on whichever platform you are listening to us on. Spotify uses stars goodness knows what other platforms use but I am sure you can work it out. It makes  huge difference to us as it brings the show up in the list when peple are looking for something new to listen to. Thanks.

Alternative Czech rock band,  Black Sonic Pearls is next with their awesome “I Know Your Name“, taking their inspiration from bands such as Soundgarden and Audioslave and yet managing to carver ot their own sonic furrow with this absolute anthem. They have a website which certainly gets my vote so have a scroll whilst you listen. 

Finally with a dreamy 3 short minutes of dreamy pop loveliness come possibly with the most annoying named band so far Peace Talks, try googling them! I think they are from Manchester. All I could find was their Linktree which has chocolate kettle overtones… Their music, in this case Sore ft . Ivan Moon, is fab just good luck in finding ot anything about them. Perhaps they will comment on this post later. We live in hope!

EPISODE 9

With a lovable brashness and a skip in their step, Girl for Samson delight us with their latest single Cigarette. With echos of The La’s and jangly 90s swagger, they set the tone on an amazing show. Poppy Bristow (Fresh on the Net) described them as “Psychedelic-indie trio Girl for Samson may hail from Kansas City, but
press play on Cigarette and its funky bass, baggy-beat percussion, and Inspiral Carpets organ accents will fire you straight through a wormhole to 90s Manchester or Liverpool. In its synthesis of cool-cat detachment and oracular yearning, the lead vocal recalls the pleasing retro-pop
tang of La’s frontman Lee Mavers, a comparison matched by the track’s gleaming popcraft.” Which is right on the nail! They have a website kind of thing that you should definitely check out.

Second comes Amity and his transcendent track Bite Me! As well as delivering a master class in writing songs and melodies, the quality of his voice and the production of the songs exceeds any words I can use to describe them So I won’t. Just listen to the track, be amazed and move on with your life knowing that you will have to listen to this song at least once a week for about 3 months. Yeah, we loved it. He does have a fabulous website here.

Soft Cotton County were kind enough to send us copies of their album. We like gifts, who doesn’t but Coward of the Country Fair, their first single from the album, is gift enough. It’s a perfect comedown and provided us with the prefect answer to the Amity question. They also have a delightful website where you can order YOUR album. It’s a gatefold with lyrics that made Chris smile from ear to ear.

TheRealFlowerPots end this outstanding collection of music with the stonker that is StormShelter. Listen to the show to find out the secrets this track and the song at the top of the show share. With a hint of “Get Carter” and some more 90s swagger. This is their website thing…. this hits the spot and brings this episode to a beautiful end.

p.s. that pic is of me after my race.
