SAUL - "Brother"
This Iowa quartet of heavy rockers are kinda new to the scene, but have smashed into it and their presence has gained them a strong fan base. Great writing skills and production mean this track stood up to being stripped back to an acoustic version, which is impressive and well worth a listen.#saul #brother #iowa #quartet #heavyrockers #heavymetal #deathmetal #punk #rockmusic #siblings #acoustic #strippedback #production #jeeni #music #musicians #independent #singersongwriter #musicvideo #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans
She-Oak Affair - Kissing The Flint
Written by Leah Chynoweth-Tidy for her debut Kissing The Flint EP 'Unconditionality' released in 2019, this upbeat track reminds us that life far too often gets manic and we need to remember to take the time to slow down or stop and smell the roses. Or in this case, relaxing on the sand under the shade of a She-Oak tree, gazing at the sea and downing a cold drink - or three!
