  • KATE FAIRMAN SONIC REVIEW: DECLAN Mckenna
    KATE FAIRMAN SONIC REVIEW: DECLAN McKENNA - WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CAR? [HUMONGOUS IN] FOR 91.3 WHJE, I’M KATE FAIRMAN AND YOU’RE LISTENING TO MY LATEST EPISODE OF SONIC REVIEW. THIS EPISODE, I WILL BE REVIEWING NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD ENGLISH SINGER AND SONGWRITER DECLAN McKENNA’S DEBUT ALBUM, TITLED “WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CAR,” WHICH WAS RELEASED ON JULY 21, 2017. [FADE SONG IN, THEN DOWN] DECLAN McKENNA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE'S RECOGNIZED AS A "POLITICAL" OR "PROTEST" SINGER, THOUGH HE DOES NOT SEE HIMSELF AS SOMEONE LEADING THE CONVERSATION. INSTEAD, HE VIEWS HIMSELF MORE AS A PERSON SINGING ABOUT THINGS PEOPLE ARE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT. AT FIRST, McKENNA SAID HE TRIED TO FIND INSPIRATION FOR LYRICS AND TOPICS IN HIS PRIVATE LIFE, BUT HE FELT THAT HIS OWN LIFE WAS TOO UNEVENTFUL THAT HE TURNED TO POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES THAT HE FELT NEEDED TO BE DISCUSSED. [BRAZIL IN, THEN DOWN] DECLAN McKENNA’S INITIAL STEP INTO THE SPOTLIGHT STARTED OUT PRETTY SMALL. IN 2014, HE SELF-RELEASED THE SONG "BRAZIL" AS HIS DEBUT SINGLE. IT GAINED RECOGNITION AFTER ITS RE-RELEASE IN AUGUST 2015, PRIOR TO HIM WINNING THE GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL’S EMERGING TALENT COMPETITION IN ENGLAND. THE SONG LATER REACHED NUMBER ONE ON SIRIUS XM RADIO'S ALT NATION “ALT 18 COUNTDOWN” IN JANUARY OF 2016 AND HELD THAT SPOT FOR THREE WEEKS. THE SONG ALSO WENT ON TO REACH NUMBER 16 ON THE U.S. BILLBOARD ALTERNATIVE SONGS CHART. THIS NEW-FOUND POPULARITY ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF MANY MAJOR MUSIC LABELS, WITH DECLAN EVENTUALLY SIGNING TO COLUMBIA RECORDS IN 2016.

  • Amazing Newsletter August 2017
    Like Tweet +1 in Therapy? present a Gig For Eric, celebrating the life of North East music industry legend, Eric Cook 11th September 2017 – The Cluny, Newcastle At Amazing Record Co. we are all still reeling from the loss of our label boss, and good friend, Eric Cook, who passed away in April after a battle with cancer. Eric was more than someone who just worked in the music industry, managed bands, ran a studio or ran record companies. He lived and breathed his passion for music. His infectious laugh could fill a room, and his stories would keep you endlessly entertained. He helped so many and so often that his passing has left a huge void in the industry and especially in the North East. We can think of no better way of marking the fifth month since his passing than to throw a “bloody loud rock gig”, delivered by bands that helped sound track his remarkable career. 'Gig For Eric' will be headlined by Therapy? at Newcastle's Cluny on the 11th September. Tickets are priced at £15 and are on sale now from: seetickets.com Therapy? were one of Eric’s last signings to his own labels Blast and Demolition Records and he brought them with him to Amazing Record Co. too. There was a huge amount of mutual respect between Eric and the band, and it was Andy’s suggestion that we show Eric the respect that he deserved in the best and most suitable manner possible… by putting on a fantastic show to celebrate Eric’s life as a rocker… for at heart that was what he truly was, a rocker and an inspiration to many.

  • By: Kylie Worrell
    By: Kylie Worrell This October is something else, which doesn’t seem too out of place given what’s happened in 2020 so far… but there are a couple things that are a bit unsettling and alarming, possibly, headed our way. Firstly, did you guys know there is another outbreak in China? According to CNN and other television broadcasting systems, there is an outbreak of a bacterial infection called “ Brucellosis”, after a leak in a biopharmaceutical factory back in 2019. This infection has affected thou- sands now, as it is livestock that normally carries Brucella, which means it could possibly be in the meat that is packaged and shipped over to the U.S.. Most say it is very much similar, if not the same as Mediterranean fever, which can cause fatigue, muscle pain, nausea, headaches and high fevers and sometimes these symp- toms never subside, they can swell the organs and it can lead to many complications including death. Human to human transmission is rare, but be careful around livestock and the meat you eat. https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/brucellosis-outbreak-china?amp=true https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/17/asia/china-brucellosis-outbreak-intl-hnk/index.html Next, do not panic! As we all know, election day is November 3rd, 2020. Ironically, there is an asteroid on course to collision, if not very close to collision, with us. As of now, NASA has not said much besides on twitter and local news sta- tions. National news stations have gotten word of this and have exploited it.
