I’m Nick Tann, musician and songwriter, sharing the best new music you haven’t heard yet.

Project Overload won our subscriber’s poll at the end of last year and won themselves an episode all about them and this is it!

This is what they say….

“Project Overload are Emily, Callum, Joe, and brothers Tom and Lucas. Aged between 15 and 20, we gig regularly around the Midlands and were recently named Best New Local Band by the Coventry Observer.

In 2024 we released our debut album, saw lead single Second Chances playlisted by Spotify, performed on the main stage at Godiva Festival and won a slot at Lakefest. We are currently recording our second album.

We play bright janglepop with sharp elbows which has been compared to The Primitives, Young Marble Giants, Blondie and the C86 sound. Influences include Fontaines DC, Dayglow, Declan McKenna, The Strokes, Sabrina Carpenter, Beach Bunny, Peach Fuzz, Two Door Cinema Club and Foals.”

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!
