Hi! Thanks for visiting Unreality Music! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed for regular updates.
This is the first post in our new Recommended By You section. It’s been submitted by a long time friend of Unreality Music, Stuart Revnell. Here’s what Stuart has to say about the band: Read & comment »
I’d like to announce a new feature on Unreality Music tonight, called Recommended By You.
The idea behind “Recommended…” is for musicians and music lovers (and even drummers!) to highlight great new artists and bands to the community and to give them a bit of profile through Unreality Music. I’m committed to covering more unsigned/breaking bands on this website, and you guys know your stuff!
You know a good unsigned/upcoming solo artist or group. You love their music and you want more people to know about them. Mail me at gerard (at) unrealitytv.co.uk telling me the following:
If you’re a musician, also tell me your homepage details and I’ll credit you with the recommendation. There’s a chance that if your music appeals to me, I’ll write a review of you.
We’ll also ask the act you recommended to recommend another act - hoping to create a chain of recommendations that draws musicians together and introduces artists to new music.
I’ll accept entries from anywhere in the world, so long as the act has music online that we can listen to! I’ll have to apply some quality control - only quality acts will get through.
I’ll be publishing one new recommendation every Tuesday, starting tomorrow. If the feature becomes popular, I’ll maybe run Recommended twice a week.
If you’ve got a recommendation to make, email me on gerard (at) unrealitytv.co.uk or use the contact form to send the info through.
Here’s another emerging band for you guys to check out - San Diego-based four-piece Transfer.
I love the retro vibe some of their songs have. Sinking Sailing is drenched in Floydian effects, beginning with a psychedelic intro and leading into a deafening conclusion.
Got a friend request tonight from up and coming Boston rockers Drive Like Carson. See exhibit (a):
Yes, they’re shifty looking. But they do rock, I can assure you. Drive Like Carson have profiles on both MySpace and (my favourite) PureVolume.com. So go on over a listen, and friend them if you like what you hear. Here’s a bit of blurb about the band and the line-up:
Honor-bound to bring you new music, tonight Unreality Music introduces you to Diablo Swing Orchestra. Before you go any further, go over to MySpace and listen to their Balrog Boogie track. Then come back and we’ll talk about it.
Done it? Good. Now let’s talk…
I got a friend request today from The Minority, a four piece band from Belfast who seem to be growing a substantial following on MySpace.
Their music is best described as psychedelic rock - thick harmonies, reverb and tremolo guitar effects and slow, shuffling beats. The band say their aim is to beat the musical mediocrity that has taken over the industry.
Allow me to introduce Mr Vince Freeman. Vince is one of those aspiring singer/songwriters I came across on MySpace a while back and have been meaning to tell you all about.
Vince is my kind of singer - he’s got a raw, throaty vocal style, but as you’ll hear, there’s a real warmth in his tone as well.
He also gigs extensively, and at the moment he’s in the middle of doing an ‘In Your Lounge’ tour, where he turns up at intimate venues like people’s houses and performs for them.
I found this track on YouTube a couple of months ago. Tin Pot Operation are a band from Belfast. I’ve known the lead singer, Anto O’Kane since back our university days, so it was a pleasant surprise to come across the band (and a bit weird seeing him in a music video!)
I wrote back in April about Stuart Revnell - an unsigned singer/songwriter from London who’s got a great pop rock sound.
Well, Stuart has released another song on his website and on MySpace. The new song is called Off My Mind. Having listened to Stuart’s other material, I can say for sure that Stuart has his own distinctive style.
Once again, in addition to writing and performing the song, Stuart engineered and produced it himself.
He has also - in his generosity - made the MP3 available on his personal website. If you loved Stuart’s material after my initial interview, you’re bound to enjoy this track.
Julian Carax is an intriguing character. There’s very little information about him on his MySpace page or anywhere else for that matter.What I can tell you is that Julian is currently resident in Paris (yes, the one in France) but he’s headed for Canada at some point in the future. He’s also a rather talented musician. Like many of the other artists I find via MySpace/Virb/etc, Julian plays most of the instruments on his EP, Turnpike.
