Episode 50

Now we are 50 and in pretty good shape, with a stonker of a podcast for you.

Girl For Samson – Jehovah

Girl For Samson start us off with a great tune. Proper friends of the podcast, mainly because we love their music and they say nice things about me. Yes, I’m that shallow.

Here’s what JM sent me:

“Here’s the first new Girl For Samson track since the 2025 album Blend All The Seasons. Girl For Samson are a three-piece recording band based in Kansas City.”

Poppy Marynns feat Corey Jones – All I Want

Next up is Poppy Marynns featuring Corey Jones. Poppy has really upped the bar with this one. He just keeps getting better and better, and it shows.

Poppy is very into ReverbNation, which is where you will find out all about him and what he’s up to.

Ger Eaton – I Thought I’d A Friend

In third place is Ger Eaton with a track that is an absolute masterpiece of songwriting and production.

Talking of writing, here’s a bit of his bio:

Ger Eaton is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, hair stylist and retro-vintage aficionado. This iconic and stylish gentleman is most recently known as keyboardist and guitarist for Dublin alt-rock heroes The Pale.

He has long been a revered mainstay of the Irish music scene as a member of Premonition, Las Vegas Basement, Les Marionettes, Pugwash and The Carnival Brothers, alongside numerous solo and collaborative projects. He has recorded and toured extensively with artists including Mundy, Duke Special, Jack L and Fionn Regan, and has played everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to Later with Jools Holland.

Following a run of singles throughout the 2020s, Eaton’s debut album Season Changes has arrived via the Dimple Discs label. He describes his sound as “Renaissance Pop” and the album as an old-fashioned break-up record, charting the emotional arc of a long relationship from bloom to winter.

Ger is a Bandcamp user, so that’s the best place to head if you want to explore further.

Laptop – Confused

And finally, the mighty Laptop with Confused.

Here are the bio bits:

Written in response to January 6, the track captures the psychological whiplash of watching democratic reality fracture in real time, filtered through the perspective of a man glued to the news, overwhelmed by noise, grievance and spectacle.

Rather than narrating events, “Confused” documents the mental fallout. Lines such as “They claim that they’re abused” and “Not quite the Reichstag fire” place the song firmly in the present, not as commentary but as diagnosis.

Threaded with dry and unsettling irony, the song leaves the listener with a queasy recognition that everyone sounds convinced, everyone sounds wrong, and certainty itself has become the least reliable narrator.

We got the joke. Did you? For all the info on this great band, shake the tree and see what falls out.

And there we have it. Was it a stonker? Do you feel stonked?

Episode 40

And so we are 40 and we have Lea G, Poppie Marynns and Nika Redhart, Rivia, and Joanovarc giving their best.

Also I teased a brand new song that I started to write last weekend. No lyrics or title yet but I will be sharing the journey this little tune makes, but in the meantime…

Lea G

Lea G’s track Again and Again is just superb and her website is well worth a squizz:
https://www.lea-g-music.com/

She has a London gig on the 11th of November as well as plenty of opportunities to see and hear more of her.

Poppie Marynns (feat. Nika Redhart)

Poppie Marynns features the wonderful Nika Redhart on his latest single Don’t Let Me Go.
It’s a great track, especially if you like guitar solos and cracking vocals.
His Facebook page gives more than I ever could:

Rivia

Rivia and a banger of a tune, Hey Sister, are in that third spot.
This is what their bio says and I have no reason to think otherwise.

The four-piece pop punk band from Liverpool, RIVIA, announce their upcoming summer release for 2025, new single Piece of You will be available on 8 August 2025.

This release comes off the back of RIVIA’s success on the This Feeling stage at Isle of Wight Festival 2025. Piece of You has all the hallmarks of a RIVIA anthemic single, big choruses and nostalgic pop punk overtones.

With support from BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 1’s Alyx Holcombe, and BBC Future Alternative, RIVIA continue their ascent into the second half of 2025. With over 100,000 Spotify streams, they give their all to their loyal supporters, best seen at their live shows.

RIVIA have performed in major cities including Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Shrewsbury, and London, with more shows to come.

They have worked once again with Sugar House Productions, and their last single Fallin’ remains the band’s biggest success to date.

Coming from Liverpool, RIVIA’s repertoire has taken them across the country, supporting artists such as The Wombats, Hold Fast, The Sheratons, Mallory Knox, Muddy Elephant, and Bloxx.

RIVIA have performed to thousands at festivals such as YNOT, Endorset, and headlining the This Feeling stage at Isle of Wight 2025, Den Fest, and Bikerstock.

There is always a huge buzz whenever RIVIA take the stage.

Exciting times await for RIVIA.

Bloody kids with their no websites, but I digress.

Joanovarc

Joanovarc and the rocking Hey Sister bring episode 40 to a close and give us a very interesting read from their bio.

Since forming in 2015, JoanOvArc have built an impressive legacy, from their debut album Ride of Your Life recorded at Rockfield Studios, to global tours across Europe, Japan, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and the USA, including a headline set at Hollywood’s Viper Room.

2025 marks a defining year for JoanOvArc. After the success of their 2024 EP Escape The Fire, the band hit the ground running with a packed tour schedule, explosive live shows, and brand new material that proves why they are one of the UK’s most exciting rock acts.

The Escape The Fire EP set the tone for this new era, featuring the title track, which stormed onto Kerrang Radio, and On My Way, a Planet Rock favourite. Both tracks came with videos by Very Metal Art, showcasing the band’s evolving visual style.

Building on that momentum, 2025 has already delivered fresh music. The single You Don’t Know dropped on 1 August, and the new release Hey Sister showcases their raw energy, big hooks, and unmistakable attitude.

Their first UK headline tour has solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting live acts on the circuit. Expect more new releases, festival appearances, and a live show that is all killer and no filler.

Band members, instruments, and hometowns:
Emma Hodgson – Lead Vocal/Guitar (St Ives, Cambridgeshire)
Shelley Walker – Lead Guitar/Vocal (Knebworth, Hertfordshire)
Keira Kenworthy – Bass/Vocal (Harrogate, North Yorkshire)
Chloe Whitworth – Drums/Vocal (Sheffield, South Yorkshire)

Musical influences: Muse, Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, Halestorm, Shinedown, In This Moment, Queens of the Stone Age, Primus, Frank Zappa, Rammstein, Free, Whitesnake.

About Hey Sister:

Hey Sister tells the emotional story of a sister trapped in an abusive, controlling relationship, fighting to reclaim her freedom and self-worth. Written from the perspective of a loving sibling, it is a heartfelt promise of unconditional support and a reminder that no matter how far she falls, help and hope remain.

In their own words:

“We are all female, all vocalists. We have a strong stage presence, passionate songs and fierce vocals. JoanOvArc is all about the music and not the individuals. It is a family unit of great friends sharing great experiences, travelling the world, meeting great people and making powerful music that talks about real life.”

“We have escaped a real fire while recording at Rockfield Studios, dodged missile attacks in the Middle East, toured with metal legends Huntress on Sunset Boulevard, and performed to fanatical audiences in Tokyo.”

As per usual, I threw all I could find about the artists into Chatgpt and it came up with this….

Nick Tann’s Fresh Music Fix – Episode 20 

We’re back with another finely tuned selection of original music from unsigned and independent artists you need to hear.

First up, long-time friends of the podcast The Real Flower Pots return with their latest single Birdie. Formed in 2024 by Kansas City composers Patrick Meagher and Johnny Marie (also of Girl for Samson), The Real Flower Pots began by finishing each other’s half-written tracks without genre limits or interference. The result is fresh, playful and full of charm.

Next, we welcome back the incredible Milena with Above The Ground, a stunning piano-driven piece that stopped us in our tracks. What started as a quiet instrumental in B minor turned into a fully fledged song—complete with five-part harmonies—during a burst of inspiration while cooking spicy prawn noodles. We’ll definitely be playing more of Milena’s music in future episodes.
You can find her at milenalainovic.com

Third on the list is Poppie Marynns and the slow-burning Venus-Mars. Based in Coventry, Poppie is a producer, musician and multi-instrumentalist blending rock, electronic, and psychedelic influences. His style takes a moment to settle in, but once it does, it’s unforgettable.
Check out his music at reverbnation.com/poppiemarynns

We close with our favourite ska misfits Madama Claude and their wild, witty track Gendarmes. Playful, multi-layered and endlessly entertaining, they’ve been growing on us—and hopefully on you too. If you haven’t seen their videos yet, treat yourself to these:
